Okay so it turned out LMT wasn't being started at boot at all once I removed the udev rules.
I fixed this by adding a symlink: /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/laptop-mode.service -> /lib/systemd/system/laptop-mode.service I've now restored the udev rules and it appears to work fine. What usually happens now? Someone writes a patch for the Debian package? (I'm new to raising bugs in Debian so I don't know...) In either case many thanks for your help Ritesh, your quick replies are much appreciated!
