Bare in mind that normal desktop distros are also designed to run on laptops and a laptop mode can be enabled to improve power usage (/proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode), but yes, at least in most software, power consumption is an afterthought.

The problem with suspend to RAM is that it's not very useful (i.e. you can't receive calls whilst it's suspended without a long wake up time). I'm eager to test Lucid Sleep once it has been mainlined. I think the Neo900 could benefit a lot from something like this.
