[Jan Stolarek]

Package: acpi
Version: 1.7-1+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

after upgrading from Jessie to Stretch I see lots of ACPI error messages on boot (also in dmesg logs):

Suspend also seems broken.  If I suspend the machine by pressing power button then it seems to suspend correctly but upon waking up the screen is not turned on.  Sometimes suspending again (via power button) and waking again will turn the screen on, sometime it will reset the computer, sometimes it will have no effect.

Neither of these problems existed on Jessie.
