No, what I propose is that sleep keys end up generating the same
userspace event no matter how they're connected. The easiest way to
achieve that (that is, the one which requires the least amount of new
code to be written) would be to do it through the input layer. If you
then want to respond to events by running something as root, this would
require a small daemon that monitors input events.
The current situation (where sleep keys may generate three different
types of events) is getting somewhat untenable.
