Alas, the patch isn't in mainline (3.4-rc kernels), so it isn't in
3.2.18-rc1, either.  It's probably targetted at 3.5.

Kernel team: please feel free to pick up this patch[1]

  c59714569642 ACPI battery: only refresh the sysfs files when
               pertinent information changes

for inclusion in sid until then, so the fix can get a wider audience.
(Adrian and Ralf tested the patch and found it to work well.)

Thanks,
Jonathan
