Hi Michael,

Thx for the work on the packages!

It's (very) late, but I could not resist to
try an installation. At the end I got:

...
Richte powersaved ein (0.12.2-1ubuntu1) ...
 * Reloading system message bus config                                                                     [ ok ]
 * Stopping ACPI services...                                                                               [ ok ]
 * Loading ACPI modules...                                                                                 [ ok ]
 * Starting ACPI services...     acpid.real: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "restart" failed.
 * Starting power management daemon powersaved                                                             [ ok ]
...

As a test I tried immidiately

	aptitude purge kpowersave

unfortunately aptitude was not able to restore system to previous
state (purge kpowersave, powersaved, and reinstall apmd klaptopdaemon
powernowd).

So for this testing period, I would suggest as outlined in my prev mail
to divert apmd and powersaved  to <name>.divered-until-kpowersave-deinstalled
This way aptitude install kpowersave and aptitude purge kpowersave should
restore original pkg state.

Me needs sleep now. More later ...
