That's fair!

Well, if explicitly setting variables is the standard, then I suggest changing 
`handle-lid-switch-external-power` to the same value as `handle-lid-switch` 
("suspend"). I agree that the current setting isn't harmful, but this change 
would match the default, unconfigured behavior of `elogind`. It would also be 
more consistent with other distros' defaults from what I've experienced.
