I've seen it too, but was not sure if it was hardware dependent or
not.

Could this be a boot ordering problem?  Should acpi-fakekey start
before acpi-support?  This is the ordering of the acpi scripts in a
recent Squeeze installation:

  root at localhost:/# ls /etc/rc2.d/*acpi*
  /etc/rc2.d/S20acpi-fakekey  /etc/rc2.d/S22acpid  /etc/rc2.d/S22acpi-support
  root at localhost:/#

If they need some specific ordering, the script dependencies are
incomplete.

Happy hacking,
