For that to work acpid.service should have a [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target section which will create the necessary symlink in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ when you run systemctl enable acpid.service. Since we don't have the necessary tools yet to do that automatically on package installation, the most simple solution is to just ship the symlinks in the package for now as is already done for the socket. > systemd seems to be able to handle the shutdown by itself in newer > versions, but those are not in wheezy.

Correct, in newer versions systemd-logind will handle various power related events (suspend-key, power-key, hibernate-key, lid-switch). Michael, if you want me to review the relevant changes or provide a patch, just let me know.
