Bug#932786: O: acpi-support -- scripts for handling many ACPI events



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the acpi-support package.

The package description is:
 This package contains scripts to react to various ACPI events. It only
 includes scripts for events that can be supported with some level of
 safety cross platform.
 .
 It is able to:
  * Detect loss and gain of AC power, lid closure, and the press of a
    number of specific buttons (on Asus, IBM, Lenovo, Panasonic, Sony
    and Toshiba laptops).
  * Suspend, hibernate and resume the computer, with workarounds for
    hardware that needs it.
  * On some laptops, set screen brightness.
 .
 Besides some system tools acpi-support recommends vbetool to be able to power
 off the screen and some screensavers to be able to lock the screen on lid
 close.

I lack the bandwidth to take care of this package and fortunately my systems don't need it anymore.

Michael
