So looks like sarge above should be woody. Oh, yes. I was wondering why I found so few (!) packages, because last time I installed a fresh sarge, some debconf screen told me I could install something like 14K packages... BTW, is there any other distrib that includes officially so many packages?

You think wrong. The user should be able to choose whether the power button triggers shutdown or suspend to disk, for instance. But one shouldn't have to edit a shell script to do it. It should just be necessary to edit a configuration file. Like modifying the action value to something like
