** Description changed:

  Unlike other menuitems we can not suppress `suspend' menuitem in
  indicator-session with an easy to maintain dconf key.
  
- This appears to be important because we can no longer use policykit do
- disable suspend.  At present there is no easy way to disable suspending
- on systems where users should not  suspend, or where suspend does not
- work.
+ This appears to be important because we can no longer use policykit to
+ disable suspend. After disabling suspend via initd (bug #1300460) there
+ still is a `suspend' menuitem. This may be confusing.
  
  In addition, the close proximity of `suspend', `log-out', and `shutdown'
- items may lead to an unwanted suspend in those systems.
+ items may lead to an unwanted suspend in systems where this does not
+ work as expected, or where a user should not suspend.

Title:
  Menuitem `suspend' has no dconf key to be suppressed

Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Unlike other menuitems we can not suppress `suspend' menuitem in
  indicator-session with an easy to maintain dconf key.

  This appears to be important because we can no longer use policykit to
  disable suspend. After disabling suspend via initd (bug #1300460)
  there still is a `suspend' menuitem. This may be confusing.

  In addition, the close proximity of `suspend', `log-out', and
  `shutdown' items may lead to an unwanted suspend in systems where this
  does not work as expected, or where a user should not suspend.
