Bug#731602: Lid close and power button suspend not working

[iiNET]

Hi All

Just installed a new laptop with Jessie testing and found that suspend 
events do not trigger suspend action.

Looking through the threads of the included bugs reports there seems to 
be a bit of an overlap so I've CC'ed you all in.

A bit of investigation found that the acpi-support-base scripts have a 
small problem, With the 'su' is in place a call to CheckPolicy from a 
non root account prompts for a password. The following patch fixed the 
password prompt and allowed suspend to initiate.

The pacth allows the lid to initiate and complete a suspend, the problem 
now is the power button issues a shutdown. gnome-tweak-tool suggests 
that the power button is set to suspend ( this could be a problem with 
my gnome profile though ).
