Package: acpid
Version: 1.0.10-2
Severity: normal

I've created a small patch to acpid that adds an command line switch
"--noinput/-i" to the daemon that prohibits it from accessing the input device
files. Therefore, it won't crash when devices are removed, however, it cannot
react to button presses. The SW_LID, KEY_POWER, KEY_SLEEP and KEY_SUSPEND must
be handled elsewhere. I did this using my daemon "magmakeys" I originally 
created
to handle thinkpad event keys that ceased to generate ACPI events some time ago,
it can also handle the cases named above quite fine.

The patch is also attached to this message.
