@SirLancelot:
ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true in /etc/default/acpi-support seems to work, my load cycle counter doesn't increase any more.
CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1 in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf was already set in Intrepid, but you should take a look.
After setting these a restart is required to apply.
Hope it helps. It worked on my Inspiron 1525.
