Package: acpid Version: 1.0.4-3 Severity: minor I just got the following debconf message when upgrading:
| Kernel ACPI support | Your current kernel does not have ACPI support enabled. In order to be | able to use the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface support you need | to recompile your kernel with ACPI support enabled. Actually, my kernel has ACPI support enabled but I explicitly disabled it with acpi=off during boot. Therefore what this message says about recompilation is wrong. Please mention something like 'active' (and maybe how) too. By the way, I think this message is an abuse of debconf. I have apmd and acpid installed because I mostly use APM but sometimes use ACPI; I'm not sure users need to be told that ACPI support has to be enabled in order to use acpid in a debconf note... it seems pretty clear.
