For years I've developed a muscle memory to type "pm-suspend" when I
want to suspend my laptop. (And yes, I still type "halt" instead of
"systemctl halt" ...)

In case there are more people used to this then it might be a good idea
to provide some compatibility binaries once pm-utils is gone. Of course,
if noone else does this then there's no need to bother I guess.
