+upower 0.9.18 still requires pm-utils for some features:
+
+- up_backend_supports_sleep_state (src/linux/up-backend.c line 360) 
+calls /usr/bin/pm-is-supported to determine if suspend or hibernate are 
+available on the system. upower uses this to reply to dbus call on 
+org.freedesktop.UPower.CanSuspend or .CanHibernate.
+Without pm-utils, org.freedesktop.UPower.CanSuspend or .CanHibernate 
+always return false.
+At startup, KDE asks org.freedesktop.UPower.CanSuspend and .CanHibernate 
+to know if, respectively, suspend and hibernate are possible on the 
+system. So, without pm-utils installed, suspend and hibernate entries 
+are not available in KDE's menus and applets (it's needed to reboot 
+after the removal of pm-utils).
+
+- up_backend_get_powersave_command (src/linux/up-backend.c line 615) 
+calls /usr/sbin/pm-powersave to apply powersave's adjustments.
+
+
+So, we should re-add the Requires pm-utils in upower for now (btw, 
+Fedora still has this requirement).
+
+regards,
+Luc
