Hi Michael!
No configuration file has been changed but /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh was
renamed to powerbtn.sh.dpkg-bak therefore, powerbtn-acpi-support.sh is
now calling shutdown instead of calling this script.
In /etc/acpi/events, I have powerbtn-acpi-support whose content is:
event=button[ /]power
action=/etc/acpi/powerbtn-acpi-support.sh
I don't have /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn. I suppose that a previous
upgrade has removed it. Since /etc/acpi/powerbtn-acpi-support.sh is
calling /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh, I did not notice the change until
powerbtn.sh was renamed.
If powerbtn.sh should go away, it could have been handled by ucf that
would have prompted the user before replacing the file by something
empty (or with just comments). Since the script is already gone, this is
a bit complicated to do it now.
In Lenny, it seems (I have not really tried, I say this just from the
changelog) that /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh is still shipped. If a user
modifies this file, it should be a way to keep its changes or to warn it
about this (through a Debconf question?).
