It seems that this patch is still not in master?

Correct. We can't change the existing semantics without breaking 
existing userspace applications.

Hmh ok, but is it planned?

Currently (on debian unstable), input-events reports on my T61:

KEY_SLEEP for Fn+F4
KEY_SUSPEND for Fn+F12

which kind-of breaks xfce4-power-manager, where SLEEP and SUSPEND

both

suspend to ram, so I don't have any way to hibernate. Changing xfpm
doesn't seem like a good idea if the way to go is to use SUSPEND for
STR, HIBERNATE for STD and SLEEP for either.

So what's the status for this?

KEY_SLEEP is suspend to RAM, KEY_SUSPEND is suspend to disk. xfpm should 
be changed to match.

Ok, I'm CC:ing the developer to let him know.
