That won't help. I've added a warning message to the pmud postinstall
script now that should help prevent this in future.

The lid status bit apparently has a different function on desktop
machines. We cannot find out the machine type by asking the PMU so this is
going to be more complex to solve.

Please file yet another bug against packages.debian.org (there gotta be
thousands of these by now). Only packages that appear in the i386
distribution will show up there. Yes, this sucks big time. No, apparently
no one cares enough about that.
I'm seriously considering adding fake i386 support to pmud, just to prove
a point there :-)
