I was not crying , I was making sure that your readers will not stay with a wrong information. First I should say that I am a laptop-mode-tools user and the sponsor for the package (So I have regular close looks at the package). Right now I don't have much time to explain in details but suffice to say that it already works with pbbuttonsd (via /etc/power/event.d/apmd-compat if I remember correctly) but some scripts (bdflush and hdsetup) need to be disabled IMHO because they interact with laptop-mode.
