Why not make the workaround available by the use of a configuration option?
The default would be, to apply the workaround. So each administrator could 
manually
disable it via "dpkg-reconfigure acpi-support", if she thinks it eats up 
battery power
or melts the harddrives.

This would help those users, who suffer from high load cycle counts.
(most laptop users, I think)
And it would satisfy those, who worry about high HD temperatures.
(seem to be many, too)
