server seed: remove acpid?

[Andreas Hasenack]

Hi,

we are reviewing the server seeds
(https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu/+ref/disco)
and the acpid package came up. It's currently in the server seed,
meaning it's installed by default.

I did some tests in a VM, and a bare metal machine, running cosmic,
and the power and suspend buttons, both from an usb keyboard and the
box itself, worked just fine without acpid running.
In fact, it's not even running on a default install unless the admin
either enables it explicitly, or installs a package that populates
/etc/acpi/events, or connects to the unix socket in /run/acpid.socket.

Does anybody know what we would miss by not having it installed by default?
