I unfortunately don't use nut, so can't help you with that particular
package. However, you might want to check out apcupsd, and see if it
supports talking to your UPS. I have an APC UPS here connected to a
squeeze server. I do though manually check it once in a while from a
wheezy machine over the network using apcaccess to do so. HTH maybe.
