I think that only hibernate should be disabled, having suspend in the Live CD environment is useful for testing.

  * Fix gconf keys for suspend and hibernate (thanks, Oliver Grawert;
    LP: #144790).
  * Enable suspend again since as far as I can see we no longer need to
    probe DMI while figuring out whether to enable it (see #61535).
  * Add a 'textonly' boot option to disable X (LP: #65818).
  * Write the please-remove-CD message to /dev/console so that it works even
    if usplash isn't running, and make sure to set /dev/console into a sane
    state so that pressing Enter doesn't just result in ^M being displayed.
