I'm not sure. Ask the debian-kernel team what the "best practice" is? I don't think kernels provide a sufficiently general virtual package that we could use in a dependency (after all, there are multiple flavours of kernel that might be suitable) without the tedious business of listing all of them as alternatives (not to mention also updating the dependency whenever the abi# changes).
I'm inclined to say we should just document it in NEWS.Debian.gz, in the absence of other guidance.
- Document prominently that closing the lid only locks the screen (I'll start preparing NEWS.Debian.gz)
Thanks.
- Maybe see if acpi-support would be available to support the suspend-on-lid behaviour (opt-in)
That would be great. File a bug and usertag it.
- See if the mixer stuff can be generalized and moved to acpi-support (not a blocker, but would be nice)
Again, file a bug and usertag it. Better to get input from the acpi-support maintainers early than wait until we have a fully finished patch.
