Title:
  Any user can prevent suspend from occuring.

Status in “acpi-support” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “acpid” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The ACPI support scripts utilize the lock file "/var/lock/acpisleep"
  to prevent multiple sleep events from occuring.

  However, any user on the system can create this lockfile and thus
  prevent ACPI suspend from occuring.

  Furthermore, this file is never cleaned by any initializion scripts -
  so no automatic recovery would occur in the case of a crash.
