Bug#493643: kcontrol: The "laptop battery" option dosn't work in 2.6.25

Package: kcontrol
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2+b1
Severity: normal

After kernel 2.6.25 was shipped and /proc/acpi/battery/* was deprecated
and the sysfs interface come out many script started to fail.

For example the laptop battery indecator (inside kcontrol) fails to
recognize and print :

"
Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation. ACPI was
probably enabled, but some of the sub-options were not - you need to
enable at least 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery' and then
rebuild your kernel.
"

here is the battery info :
