Also, I just noticed a long-time PITA I've had, but never got
round to looking into - the rpm postop explicitly chkconfig's
pmie and pmproxy off. This means on an upgrade, previously
enabled pmie and pmproxy state is blown away.
Thats clearly a bug - I'll remove those two lines shortly in
my branch.
cheers.
