No, the ) is intentionally part of the match, to preclude accidentally
matching display names that have the one we're looking for as a prefix.
The problem here is gawk and mawk having two different means of interpreting
), and awk being an alternative that could point at either one. mawk is
installed by default, but it's likely that mawk's behavior here is actually
a bug and we probably don't want to rely on it; nor do we want acpi-support
to have to depend on gawk.
So I think the proper solution is to follow up on mawk's behavior and fix
mawk if necessary.
