OK. I'll have to go re-investigate that package.

I have this installed, but I don't exactly know what to do with it. If
I just turn off the power (push the button), it interrupts with an
orderly shutdown, but doesn't hibernate. I couldn't find anything in
the docs to assist.

If there was a handy command to show more details on the system, I'd
run it and include it with the next update.

One man's brain plus one other will produce one half as many ideas as
one man would have produced alone.  These two plus two more will produce
half again as many ideas.  These four plus four more begin to represent
a creative meeting, and the ratio changes to one quarter as many ...
