Perhaps you could share your fix in Documentation?

I also have these components installed and found it 'disturbing'. That question has been asked before - maybe by me - but I can't remember the answer. LOL! I'll throw it up on #devuan and see who bites . . .
I will write it up soon and post in Documentation. If nothing else, you can have endless fun making the 'special buttons' do whatever you want...
Yes, I'd be interested in learning something about all that systemd junk...

If the button results in an ACPI event, you could deal with it through that: a "rules file" in /etc/acpi/events to recognize it and map to a script, and that script invoking pm-suspend, habitually placed in /etc/acpi.
I'll see if I can cobble something together.
BTW, many thanks everyone for the input/suggestions!

Do you have upower installed? That used to be the solution but may not be going forward. There is history in the botbot logs.
Yes, I have upower installed. It seems that the latest version of upower dropped support for some hardware - it let's systemd handle it.

Does suspend work from the logout menu?
I don't see a suspend option. I am running MATE. If I select log out, it just logs me out to the greeter screen to log back in again.

Pressing the 'sleep' button on the keyboard of my Compaq Presario desktop doesn't do anything. 'pm-suspend' works fine - the machine sleeps and wakes properly.
The sleep button does work properly in Debian Jessie.

fanderal, I agree with you 100%. What happened with Debian was very sad, and very troubling. The Windows-ification of Linux distros is proceeding apace, and we are indeed fortunate to have the Devuan project and folks...
