This is currently on the sync blacklist: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/+junk/sync-blacklist/view/head:/sync-blacklist.txt#L63

I'm subscribing the archive admins to get an evaluation on whether or not this is still appropriate.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

The existing acpi-support package in Ubuntu is a native package that has always been maintained in Ubuntu, Debian has never been upstream to Ubuntu for it. To drop this blacklist, I would want an affirmative review of the delta from someone to confirm that the Debian changes are correct to include (i.e. this should be treated as a merge, not as a sync).

Also, it's possible that the correct solution here is to remove acpi-support instead, as it's likely that this should be treated as obsolete in favor of modern systemd components.
