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.
