The button switching bluetooth on/off on Lenovo Thinkpad stopped working 
after upgrading from 2.6.28-1-amd64 to 2.6.29-1-amd64.

According to Henrique de Moraes Holschuh (thinkpad_acpi maintainer), 
this is because CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT is disabled.  Quoting from a
discussion on the linux-thinkpad list:

Yes.  Without CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT you will get hotkey events *ONLY*
through the thinkpad-acpi input device.

It has been that way for more than one year, now.  It is warned everywhere
in the driver, there is even a backwards compatibility strategy in place,
which won't help you because acpid never got fixed to deal with netlink
events.

I do use the latest and greatest acpid:

bjorn@nemi:~$ apt-cache policy acpid
acpid:
  Installed: 1.0.8-6
  Candidate: 1.0.8-6
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.8-6 0
        600 http://ftp.no.debian.org sid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.0.8-1 0
        700 http://ftp.no.debian.org lenny/main Packages

I believe acpid have to be fixed before CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT can be
disabled.  Please enable it again for the next release.
