Your assumption unfortunately is wrong. We keep removing event handlers for keys that are correctly generated by the kernel, but so far not all are. Actually we had to put some handlers back in after upstream removed them because the keys were not generated in the Debian kernel. > since acpi-support does it too, the keystrokes are reported twice.

If your are talking about /etc/acpi/events/asus-eee-volume-* they will be removed with the next upload. The files are no longer distributed in the package but the writer of this email simply forgot to rm_conffile them in the preinst of said package.
