The decisive factor is not if you have DK-disks installed, but if you have hal installed. If you have a system without hal, then you won't need the entire hal-info (and thus those fdi files) either. The exception is pm-utils prior to 1.3, which can read the suspend quirks straight from fdi files without going through hal.
No, pm-utils prior to 1.3 requires HAL to be running -- it is smart enough to ask HAL to get the quirks, but it cannot read them straight from the .fdi files.
