In the current factory aka 12.1 M3 it appears that though there's no
package dependency defined :

pm-profiler-0.1_git20101115-9.2.noarch
yast2-power-management-2.18.1-10.2.noarch

May be need some work, there's no package "haldaemon" (which there was
in 11.4).  Is this in hand, or would a bug report be useful?

Came across a HOWTO on the forum so this has some user visibility -
