RTFM

Before trying to resolve a gnome-power-manager issue with custom-made BASH scripts, could be quite smart to read the /usr/share/doc/gnome-power-manager/README.Debian.

PS If you're not able to suspend your laptop via gnome-power-manager (and pm-utils) but you can do it from the console, add your user to the 'powerdev' group.
PPS Debian developers: could be quite good to add the normal user in this group, automatically during the installation.
PPPS gnome-power-manager developers: Instead of just prints out a warning with "the system was not able to suspend", could be more verbose (better, clear) to use a "you don't have the permissions to suspend the system: Read the Fucking README.Debian"
