... one more thought:

It would be more useful if it wasn't a launch wrapper, but rather a
lone daemon that sits in the background and suspends a set of
processes according to given heuristics (e.g. suspend gpodder when a
call is initiated, matched by /proc/NNN/cmdline).

This would allow suspend rules to be created for apps outside the
packaging/implementation for the app itself.
