Lenny's acpid no longer requires /proc/acpi/event; but the package
description is lagging behind.
# Package: acpid
# Description: Utilities for using ACPI power management
Also, that's a strangely inaccurate synopsis: /usr/sbin/acpid is
only one thing, and it isn't a utility. Use the same short
description as the man page:
Description: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon
# Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
(ACPI)
# to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query battery and
# configuration status.
# .
# ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering
# ACPI events. It listens on a file (/proc/acpi/event) and when an event
# occurs, executes programs to handle the event. The programs it executes
# are configured through a set of configuration files, which can be
# dropped into place by packages or by the admin.
Update the reference to listening on /proc/acpi/event:
[...] It listens on a netlink interface (or on the deprecated file
/proc/acpi/event), and when an event occurs[...]
If current Squeeze kernels don't have CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT then
this version may be getting stale already, but it's slightly ahead
of the man page.
