One of the features that is enabled by <command>pm-powersave</command>

When you run <command>pm-powersave</command> it combines the
scripts in these two directories and executes them in sorted order.
If both directories contain a script with the same name, the one in
/etc/pm/power.d/ has a higher precedence and only
this one will be executed.
</para>
<para>
Therefore to disable a script from /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/
simply create an empty file in /etc/pm/power.d/ with the same
name and without the execute bit set.
