As I understand the purpose of acpi-support is to support and configure every acpi enabled system that exists in an attepmt to make sure the current HW is supported and acpi-support uses the appropriate scripts. Ok, suppose you leave the installation of the hw dependant packages to a third party (say a tool which would be smart about what it installs via discover information, or even d-i). So what is left for acpi-support to do is to be interested about a trigger enabled by a package such as nvclock. I know the weak link of this approach is the magnificent tool that installs hw spcific packages based on discover findings, but discover already includes a script that can install packages based on those findings, I guess is necessary to check how much more it needs to be expanded[1] and integrate it somehow in the installation.
