Hopefully the acpi-support maintainer can tell us something more about this ;)
I've cc'd him in this mail.
I suppose the sleep/hibernate scripts are disabled so there is no conflict with
a power-manager and the scripts. Although i don't think detecting random
power-managers is actually scalable...
At some point we really need a good generic power-management structure in
debian, adding support for all kinds of programs/scripts to the hal scripts
just doesn't scale :(
