Happened to me too a few days ago when dist-upgrading a Thinkpad x60
running a sid system.  The AC adapter monitoring died too.  Seems the
"battery" and "ac" modules stopped being autoloaded, so I had to add
them myself to /etc/modules.

I still haven't figured out what's responsible for it, and looking
through the dpkg log for recently upgraded packages doesn't show any
immediately obvious suspects.
