Good approach, we will need to Recommend/Suggest on the package that includes the /usr/bin/acpi binary (acpi). > I'm not sure of the right way to supply a diff, so I will attach > /usr/sbin/backupninja, changed from 0.9.4-6ubuntu4 (on my laptop, > which runs Ubuntu...Debian on my desktop, but I don't run it without > it being plugged in, of course).

It doesn't look like there was anything attached to this. The best way to provide a diff would be to take the most current version from the svn trunk and do a unified diff against that and then send that. Thanks for doing this, I think it would be a very useful feature addition Micah
