I use kcontrol for doing this. I think the underlying machinery belongs to
acpi. kcontrol is just a front-end to do a bunch of system administration
things in KDE (which is bloated but very good BTW). Since front ends or
Desktop Environments are usually not installed on headless Debian servers,
your best bet is to look in the documentation of acpi (or other related
packages) to how to achieve this.
