We currently lack the pm-utils package, which provides ‘pm-suspend’
(currently I use a script that writes to /sys/power/state as Tomáš
suggested.)  Would you like to give it a try?

We also lack a service to run acpid.  You’re welcome to try it as well
;-).  The main thing is that it requires studying a bit acpid’s options
and possibly provide an API for the /etc/acpi/events rules.

Thanks,
