Well. The thing is that I'm using the kernel from debian-kernel team with this
entry in latest changelog :
linux-2.6 (2.6.24-1~experimental.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
(...)
* [amd64, i386]: Enable ACPI_SYSFS_POWER and disable ACPI_PROCFS_POWER.
So this is visibly the default behavior which is about to land in
experimental.
This is still a bug in hal though. :)
Regards,
Didier
