Bug seems to be solved, at least on my Amilo 1650G and on my desktop
(both with Intrepid updated daily). In particular, "/proc/acpi/alarm"
disappeared while "/sys/class/rtc/rt0/wakealarm" finally appeared and
works well.

This means if I give (notice my hardware clock is set to UTC+2) the following 
commands:
   echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
   echo `date '+%s' -d '+ 125 minutes'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm

then
   cat /proc/driver/rtc
returns the correct information, and the computer actually wakes up after 5 
minutes.

Please notice that:
-> instructions were taken from 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ACPI_Wakeup#Using_.2Fsys.2Fclass.2Frtc.2Frtc0.2Fwakealarm
-> "cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm" returns nothing (don't know if it's 
normal)
-> the behaviour of   /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm is different from 
/proc/acpi/alarm one since it will discard calls for alarms in the past (while 
the latter would just record them, even if they are useless), so, on my 
computer (remember, UTC+2), the call 
   echo `date '+%s' -d '+ 5 minutes'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
just doesn't change anything in the output of 
   cat /proc/driver/rtc

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Fix Released
