laptop mode is a software that manages power settings of the
harddisks....that variable is related to it..
see http://packatges.ubuntu.com/laptopmode
It is not too used by people because the advantages using it are not too
relevant. Try it and choose if use it or not.

Three followups (sadly, there have been no responses other than my own,
I feel alone in the world :->).
1. In Feisty, the file is /etc/default/acpi-support.
2. Is this related to hardware white list requests? Refer to
https://launchpad.net/bugs/44781
3. When booting with ACPI=force (required on my ACPI-capable but older
laptop), shouldn't this be enabled when the system detects a) ACPI=force
and b) that it is a notebook (refer to dmidecode).
I'm tempted to file a bug re the fact that it is false on my machine,
but I'd appreciate the wisdom of this list.
Thanks,
