Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.95-2
Severity: minor

This package depends on a number of hardware-specific packages
(radeontool, toshset).  Shouldn't those be "recommends" or "suggests"
rather than "depends" relations?

I'm also puzzled by the presence of xbase-clients, and wonder if
laptop-detect is essential.

I'm running on server.  I'm not sure if acpi is going to do me any
good; my motherboard (Intel 945PSN) definitely claims to support it
and to have low power modes.  Intel support had nothing useful to say
about using it under Linux.  I'd appreciate any clues on using acpi
in this configuration as well (though that's not really part of the
bug).

Thanks.
