I've committed a new branch - hotkey-only - to git.debian.org that does this.
It uses netlink events since new kernels or acpids don't generate the
old ATKD events anymore.
acpid should properly support netlink since 2.0.0-1, that migrated to
squeeze on the first of January.
To test this version, you'd better move back to the one in unstable
and then upgrade agains - otherwise since there is no version bump
from the previous unreleased one you'll get some leftover conffiles.
I'm testing it right now and it seems working both on 2.6.32 and 2.6.36
Cheers,
