I had a problem with power button on my Dell Optiplex GX270 in lucid (Server Edit.).
I just copied a old script:
# /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh

from another machine (server too) and now it works perfect :)

$ cat /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh 
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh
# Initiates a shutdown when the power putton has been
# pressed.

# Skip if we just in the middle of resuming.
test -f /var/lock/acpisleep && exit 0

# If gnome-power-manager or kded4 are running, let
# them handle policy This is effectively the same as 'acpi-support's
# '/usr/share/acpi-support/policy-funcs' file.

if pidof gnome-power-manager kded4 > /dev/null; then
    exit
fi

# If all else failed, just initiate a plain shutdown.
/sbin/shutdown -h now "Power button pressed"

Status in “acpid” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: acpid

As you can see from the transcript below, acpid's power button
event handler has started to assume that acpi-support is installed.
As I only need the power button to be supported, I haven't installed
acpi-support.

# sh -vx /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh
# Initiates a shutdown when the power putton has been
# pressed.
