[Debian-eeepc-devel] Bug#578889: acpi-support: please remove unnecessary asus-eee-* rules

[Luca Niccoli]

Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.133-2
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The three rules /etc/acpi/events/asus-eee-* only synthetize keysyms, but
this is done already by the kernel in squeeze.
The lenny kernel does not (AFAICS from the source), but Eee users at the
moment have most probably installed eee-acpi-scripts anyway, so they don't
have a use for them.
I set severity to normal, instead of whishlist, because these rules make more
difficult to integrate eee-acpi-scripts with acpi-support, something that
debian-eee would like to do for squeeze.
Cheers,

Luca
