Package: acpid
Version: 1.0.4-1
Severity: normal

acpid to be rather unhelpful packages when trying to get suspend
working.  Google eventually tells you that you need to echo things into
/proc/acpi/sleep (which happens to work on my system).

Then the system clock starts wandering all over the place, and I had to
research the "hwlock --hctosys" solution.  Acpid should at least include
something like:

implement ACPI suspend [Y/N]".
