Nope.

Yes. With patches. My main motivation to integrate acpi-support (which
comes really from Ubuntu) has been to have correct suspend support for my
laptop but I'm not an ACPI expert and I don't have the time to become one.

So I have difficulties handling bug reports against this package. So
bugreports *with* patches are definitely useful. :-)
