Package: acpid
Version: 1.0.4-7.1
Severity: normal

Hello.
Just moved from stable to testing and from i386 to amd64, to find that 
there is no /etc/acpi* after installing acpid package. I was expecting 
to find there a default event handler at least for power button with the 
assosiated script. IMHO it should not be so, becouse:
1. One of the main porpouse to have acpid, specially on a SOHO server, 
is to be able to shut down the computer gracefully without need of a 
console, now this does not work by default.
2. Many people, after finding this failure, will consider their's ACPI 
subsytem "broken" while it is not so, which is not good.

If this lack is intentional, it sould be at least covered in 
/usr/share/doc/acpid/README, as it happend some years ago, 
when iptables people removed the init script.

Thank you.
