Bug Description
The package still includes a small number of ACPI events, each of which appear to be handled elsewhere. Specifically, each remaining event either:
(1) Is covered in an appropriate hid- kernel driver, e.g. hid-asus
(2) Is covered in systemd's hwdb.d/
(3) Matches an event string that was generated by the old /proc/acpi/event interface, and is therefore obsolete.
Because of this, we do not want to continue to support the package in Ubuntu, and it should be removed from the archive.
