Unfortunately this is not trivial to implement. Having the installer
change a file in /etc makes it look like a "user customization" and the
user may get prompted about it on upgrade as if they did it themselves,
and this is confusing.

And in general, having the installer cause different behaviour in the same
packages by default can be confusing.

Why are you installing Ubuntu Server on a laptop but expecting it to
behave like a server in the first place?

Arguably, if it's physically a laptop, users will expect it to suspend
on lid close anyway.
