Is it possible to set hibernation so that even BFU can use it?
In my opinion it needs two features
1) Map power button to hibernation instead of power off
2) Do not require password after restore (especially if auto login is enabled)
Is there a way at the moment or does it need some development yet?

The first method:
Systemd can handle this. I think this is what you need:
Open the /etc/systemd/logind.conf:
HandlePowerKey: action on power key is pressed;
HandleSuspendKey: action on suspend key is pressed.
HandleHibernateKey: action on hibernate key is pressed.
HandleLidSwitch: action when the lid is closed.
The action can be one of ignore, poweroff, reboot, halt, suspend, hibernate or kexec.
If no configuration, default values used:
HandlePowerKey=poweroff
HandleSuspendKey=suspend
HandleHibernateKey=hibernate
HandleLidSwitch=suspend
The second method:
Both features is possible to set in 'tdepowersave' application. You need to install it in terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install tdepowersave-trinity
Login again, you will find tdepowersave in system tray.

The first way is not definitely for BFU :-)
The second one looks very good.
Why it is not installed by default?

We would like to keep the core installation as minimal as possible. Regular and less experienced users should apply a profile using Desktop Profiler immediately after installation, so the 'tdepowersave-trinity' will be installed.

Am I right, that if Desktop Profiler is used then'tdepowersave-trinity' is installed only on laptop and not on general desktop?
(At least my test in VirtualBox seems so)

Exactly, you are right.
