If, as you say, acpid is not required, then the init script or postinst script needs to be fixed so that the package installation does not fail if acpid is not installed. That is the issue that needs to be addressed.
It *is not* required...just look at the error message or the init script if you're still not convinced.

If a package fails to install completely if a so-called non-required related package is not installed, then that's broken.
It's not "broken" in the sense of being a bug, but it would be nice to avoid, yes.

I won't get involved in the upgrade/downgrade games, but the release managers decide what is release-critical or not.

Yeah, and since your message vorlon endorsed serious severity, so unless Michael feels like arguing with vorlon, this should be considered RC.
