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/60-keyboard.hwdb
(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.

All of the metapackages have been uploaded to the queue. Will review this again once they've migrated to the kinetic release pocket.

reverse-depends doesn't yet work for kinetic, but:

$ apt rdepends acpi-support
acpi-support
Reverse Depends:
$

So this can be removed now.
