[Bug 1748702] Re: Please upgrade that old version

[Steve Langasek]

The existing acpi-support package in Ubuntu is a native package that has
always been maintained in Ubuntu, Debian has never been upstream to
Ubuntu for it.  To drop this blacklist, I would want an affirmative
review of the delta from someone to confirm that the Debian changes are
correct to include (i.e. this should be treated as a merge, not as a
sync).

Also, it's possible that the correct solution here is to remove acpi-
support instead, as it's likely that this should be treated as obsolete
in favor of modern systemd components.
