I personally think the solution should be simple. First some parameters in laptop-mode need splitting into LM_AC_ and LM_BAT_ (like LM_READAHEAD), next someone should invent sane defaults that actually work for a default installation. Next installer should autodetect or ask (during installation) if user wants to run on laptop-mode or not. And really, the only sane default for ubuntu would be hdparm -B 128, provided that laptop-mode is actually working as expected. Because as previously noted, shock protection is important.
