Bug description:
  pm-utils has been dead upstream for many many years, and in Ubuntu we
  stopped using it since Ubuntu 15.04. However, confusingly we still
  install it by default as plainbox-provider-checkbox recommends it.

  Please drop this recommends. It's completely useless in Ubuntu, and
  for Debian it would only actually do anything with sysvinit. But there
  systemd-shim already Suggests: it. This is also enough, as these days
  drivers got fixed to work without the pm-utils suspend quirks.
