Right now we have acpid in Debian to handle the power key, and nothing
to handle a lid close if there is no session running or you are on a
VT. IMHO acpi-support and acpid ought to go away some day, and logind
can take over this functionality.

GNOME 3.8 just won't suspend any more on lid close, as g-s-d power
relies on lightdm to do it. It just inhibits that behaviour while its
policy determines that the suspend should *not* happen.
