Thank you Bhasker. Commenting out the line in question did in fact
prevent the laptop from going into standby when I _close_ the lid.
However, the machine still wakes from standby when I _open_ the lid.
So this is not a solution to my problem.

I looked in the BIOS thinking that there may be an ACPI disable option
there, but there is none.
