[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#772095: upower: bluetooth HID keyboard shows up as laptop battery

[Sean Cross]

Subject: upower: bluetooth HID keyboard shows up as laptop battery
Package: upower
Version: 0.99.1-3.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The UPower battery detection system incorrectly assumes that Bluetooth
keyboards have an
"input" node immediately underneath the "bluetooth" node.  With HID
devices, the "input"
node exists under a subsequent "hid" node.

Because of this, Bluetooth HID batteries will appear as full laptop
batteries, and upower will
incorrectly assume main power is dying when the laptop keyboard runs low
on power.

This bug has been reported upstream, but no action has been taken:

The attached patch solves the problem.
