Package: acpi-support

Severity: wishlist
I run Debian on a laptop with an Intel chipset and graphics card. I do
not want to have nvclock on my system for no reason. Please fix
acpi-support so that you can recommend nvclock and have it do the right
thing on both nVidia and non-nVidia systems when nvclock is installed or
not installed.
Same goes for toshset, radeontool and any other hardware-specific stuff.
Thanks for the report. I merged this with existing bug report #410918,
which is already tagged "wontfix". I'm sorry you have limited space.
Still, I'm not willing to add a breakage possibility for standard
functionality, just to accommodate laptops that are going to be eight or
nine years old by the time the next Debian release comes out (it's a
laptop from about 2000, right?). We've considered many options for
splitting up the package into smaller chunks, and all of the options
simply break functionality if recommended packages are not installed
automatically (an option which is easily enabled in e.g. aptitude), with
no way of telling the user why things don't work as expected.
Cheers,
Bart
