I don't think there is much point caring until there is a sane interface for tell available to us. Perhaps add a simple battstat_can_suspend() function to check whether we should offer that option that by default returns TRUE, but that can be overridden by the vendors if they feel it appropriate.
This is what I've done. I've also knocked up a patch for Ubuntu. Please comment on the other bug so I can decide what to do about this :) (if we keep the wording of the dialog as it is now then there are going to be some string changes. if we're going to change the wording anyway we may as well do both at once).
It seems that we're never going to win w.r.t. to wording of that damned dialog. Let's leave it as is for the moment.
fixed in head. distros can patch is_suspend_unavailable() to meet their needs.
