Three followups (sadly, there have been no responses other than my own,
I feel alone in the world :->).

1. In Feisty, the file is /etc/default/acpi-support.

2. Is this related to hardware white list requests? Refer to

3. When booting with ACPI=force (required on my ACPI-capable but older
laptop), shouldn't this be enabled when the system detects a) ACPI=force
and b) that it is a notebook (refer to dmidecode).

I'm tempted to file a bug re the fact that it is false on my machine,
but I'd appreciate the wisdom of this list.

Thanks,
