It is not really a sabotage. The ubuntu integration of laptop-mode-tools is
something like this way. I think they trigger laptop-mode-tools through pm-
utils.

As upstream we don't do this, but ubuntu as part of their integration, must
have designed it to be triggered differently.

I think you should just check it thoroughly and report on this bug. Someone
from the ubuntu team could have a look at it.
