Depends on toshset which doesn't work on ACPI-enabled kernels.

Bug Description

acpi-support depends on the toshset package, however if you install this package
on a machine with an ACPI-enabled kernel (ie. the default Ubuntu one) you get a
debconf note telling you:

"Your kernel has ACPI enabled.

Unfortunately toshet is not fully functional on ACPI-enabled kernels."

Either this dependency is in error, or this debconf note is in error.

2.6.12-7-686-smp.
