haven't dealt with this myself, but I believe the ibm-acpi is a kernel
module, which is in fact integrated into the ubuntu kernel.  However I
think the version available in 2.6.12 (used by breezy) is a bit
outdated, whle the one in 2.6.15 (Dapper) is quite new.

doubtless someone on the list knows more than I do, though.
