This seems to be because part of the power management stuff is still
done by acpi-support. On my 32bit 8.04 powered laptop, anacron gets
stopped/started when switching to battery/ac (alt+ctrl+F1 switch to
tty1, unplug ac and messega shows up"*Stopping anac(h)ronistic cron
anacron") but to me it seems its still done with
/etc/acpi/battery.d/15-anacron.sh and  /etc/acpi/ac.d/85-anacron.sh
which is weird since scripts placed in i.e. /etc/acpi/resume.d no longer
get executed and you have to place your scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ .
Also the /etc/acpi/power.sh still gets called when switching to
battery/ac.

Another thing, some variables in /etc/default/acpi-support are still
valid and affect the system's power management behavior, some no longer
have any effect, i.e. ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE setting still works, while
MODULES has no effect and one must create his own new config in
/etc/pm/conf.d/ to configure modules which should get unloaded before
suspend/hibernate.

Maybe a new bug should be reported, to completely remove acpi-support
package from default install and fully migrate all the scripts and hooks
to pm-utils since for now the hardy power management seems like glued
and duct taped together from pm-utils and acpi-support.
