If you are using the stock debian kernel, insert a line append="apm=on" in your /etc/lilo.conf. You should also install apmd to fully utilize APM's features. If your box supports ACPI and you're willing to use a 2.4 kernel, you can enable ACPI support instead of APM and then install acpid. I have a HP Pavilion that works fine with this setup. ACPI may be supported by the latest 2.2 kernels; I don't know.
