Are there plans to add acpid to ltsp?

On most new workstations the power switch does not actually cut the power. Some have bios settings that will do instant power off, but most require holding the power button for about 4 seconds.

acpid will shut down if you press the power switch on a newer workstation.
The stock debian acpid package does the correct thing  as is.
it's pretty small. Should only add about 20k if one just installs the needed files. Found one mention of someone doing it in ltsp http://republico.estv.ipv.pt/~nmct/ltsp/ha/ltsp-ha-howto-en-gpl.sxw <http://republico.estv.ipv.pt/%7Enmct/ltsp/ha/ltsp-ha-howto-en-gpl.sxw>

There are a couple other ways to power off terminals but this seems easiest to me.
