I'm quite unconvinced that this package can be adopted without changes
into debian. Ubuntu btw doesn't use suspend2 at all, but software
suspend from the kernel sources.

This package will be obsoleted anyway for the next ubuntu relase (IIRC
and AFAIK) in favor of some configuration facility which integrated
more nicely with graphical desktop environments (gnome-power comes to
mind). Perhaps ogra can comment on this.

As said, I'm not sure if this package can or should be uploaded to
debian. The conffiles inside the packages are indeed a useful and
great addition to /usr/share/doc/acpid/examples!
