[Bug 250935] [NEW] [intrepid] laptop-mode-tools needs to change its default settings to match acpi-support and add hooks for pm-utils

Binary package hint: laptop-mode-tools

Currently acpi-support is running laptop-mode incorrectly. First of all
it executes laptop-mode with start and stop commands directly, which
interferes with settings users have in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-
mode.conf. Secondly, immediately after that it applies hard-coded power
management and spindown time values, which interfere with the same
settings specified in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf.

Please keep in mind, that acpi-support applies these settings only when
laptop-mode is enabled, so it is natural for laptop-mode to handle these
settings by itself, which it is better at, that is. To do this I propose
these steps:

1) Change default laptop-mode settings to match those of acpi-support: this way users without custom configs won't notice any difference.
2) Since pm-utils is handling power states and hibernate/thaw/sleep/resume add pm-utils hooks to handle laptop-mode reloading
3) Change acpi-support not to interfere with laptop-mode, since now it is handled by pm-utils

The attached debdiff does steps 1 and 2. For step 3 I will be filing
acpi-support bug-report.

** Affects: laptop-mode-tools (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Fix Released
