Looks like acpi-support-base now depends on X.  It should not.

In particular, it makes some very dubious assumptions about console
names:

ipv6-pppoe-2:~# sh -x /etc/acpi/powerbtn-acpi-support.sh 
+ [ -f /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn -o -f /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn.dpkg-bak ]
+ [ -e /usr/share/acpi-support/policy-funcs ]
+ . /usr/share/acpi-support/policy-funcs
+ . /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs
+ umask 022
+ PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
+ POWERSTATE=/var/lib/acpi-support/powerstate
+ HDPARM=/sbin/hdparm -q
+ LIDSTATE=/var/lib/acpi-support/lidstate
+ CheckPolicy
+ local PMS
+ getXconsole
+ fgconsole
+ activeVT=serial
+ pwf_error invalid active VT 'serial'
+ logger -tpowerbtn-acpi-support.sh -perr -- power-funcs: invalid active VT 'serial'
+ exit 1

Please fix. You shouldn't need to run X to poweroff a system.
