Bug#137915: ITP: pm-common -- Package for power management utilities common to APM and ACPI

  Description     : Power management utilities common to APM and ACPI

The apmd packaging team wants to move the on_ac_power, apm_available
and acpi_available utilities into a package separate from apmd so
that users can test power status with either apmd or acpid installed.

If we don't put these utilities in a separate package then either we
eliminate them from /usr/bin (which was tried, and protested) or we
put different versions in apmd and acpid and make these conflict.
However making apmd and acpid conflict would be both inconvenient 
and in violation of policy (since apmd is priority optional).
