This is trivially easy, just give the user some hints as to why this
isn't enabled by default rather than silently fail.  Also, perhaps this
should be enabled for the netbook-remix variant, since these all use
more modern hardware?

Change this in /etc/init.d/laptop-mode:
# FIXME: this shouldn't be configured there
if [ -f /etc/default/acpi-support ]; then
       . /etc/default/acpi-support;
fi

to this:
# FIXME: this shouldn't be configured there
if [ -f /etc/default/acpi-support ]; then
       . /etc/default/acpi-support;
        echo "You need to set ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true in 
/etc/default/acpi-support"
fi
