[Bug 1970464] [NEW] Please remove acpi-support from the archive

[Nick Rosbrook]

Public bug reported:

The package still includes a small number of ACPI events, each of which
appear to be handled elsewhere. Specifically, each remaining event
either:

(1) Is covered in an appropriate hid- kernel driver, e.g. hid-asus
(2) Is covered in systemd's hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb
(3) Matches an event string that was generated by the old /proc/acpi/event interface, and is therefore obsolete.

Because of this, we do not want to continue to support the package in
Ubuntu, and it should be removed from the archive.
