Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.86-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello there. I see acpi-support does what I have previously
had to do manually in the past, thank you :)

However, one thing that I used to do manually for acpid was
manage dock/undock events sent by my thinkpad x40 when I use
my ultrabase.  These events used to be generated by the
ibm_acpi module.

I understand that having ibm_acpi manage the hotplugging is
deprecated now. It's not clear to me how I can use my
ultrabase with the new scheme, but I imagine the "un/dock me
please" events are still carried over ACPI, which means
events would still go in this package.

Do you happen to know how these events are managed under the
new scheme? Either way, is this the correct place to file a
wishlist bug and patches? :)
