[Bug 638307] Re: Please remove/blacklist laptop-mode-tools. Conflict with pm-utils makes laptop-mode-tools package break suspend

[Sundberg Pauli]

To point out why laptop mode tools is essential for me:

I originally had to install the laptop-mode-tools to spin-down my non-
flash HD on my laptop. Root file system and /home are installed on
separate flash HD that is installed on cd-rom slot. Without laptop mode
tools the sda (non flash) kept spinning, making (loud) noise and
consuming battery. It was unacceptable.

IF pm-utils can handle this, mayby we should also update wiki pages:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement#How%20to%20get%20disks%20to%20spin%20down%20and%20idle%20correctly%20%28without%20excessive%20load%20cycling%29
