Package: hw-detect Version: 1.108 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi!
While installing a jessie (GNOME) desktop with the latest RC3 installer, I noticed that we still install acpid and acpi-support-base. A while ago, I already filed a bug to have acpid and acpi-support-base removed from tasksel [1], since it duplicates functionality which is nowadays provided by systemd/logind. The same reasons apply to debian-installer. I therefor would like to see those packages dropped from hw-detect as well. I'm not sure, if the "acpi" command line utility is that useful which would warrant having it installed by default. The attached patch drops it as well. Incidentally, this was also suggested for the laptop-task, which still pulls it in.
