This suggests that there are 2 programs reacting to the ACPI sleep
button event.  From your dpkg list, I'd guess that gnome-power-manager
is one, not sure which is the other.  But note that gnome-power-manager
is (or at least was) braindead in this regard since it is linked to
active X sessions, so if there's no X11 session, it won't react to Fn+F4,
and if there are N different X11 sessions, then it will react N times.
So maybe you just have 2 sessions open on two different consoles?

If not, then there is presumably a second program reacting to
the event.  Maybe you've put something into /etc/acpi/events at some
point in the past (when gnome-power-manager didn't work)?
