No.
It was my first shot but the problem is *completely* unrelated to
apmd.  This is at least the case for the issue I reported as #354163
and I should probably rename the title of the bug if this is confusing.
I tried several things here but the problem is anywhere inbetween
the changes of

     initscripts_2.86.ds1-10            and
     initscripts_2.86.ds1-11

I'm living perfectly fine with initscripts_2.86.ds1-10 on hold.
Installing any later version brings up the problem on all my
machines (apm or acpi based).

A quite hard fact that it is not the apm code to switch off the
computer is IMHO that the machine also does not reboot but hangs
anywhere in the final step of the shutdown process.  The very old
problem "does not switch of without apm" did not showed this
behaviour and also did not forced a file system check at next
boot (which is the case after I have to switch of my computer).

Kind regards

         Andreas.
