To disable acpid logging, edit /etc/default/acpid and add "-l /dev/null" to the end of the OPTIONS string. On my system, the line looks like this with the change:
OPTIONS="-s /var/run/acpid.socket -l /dev/null"

I am running hardy amd64. Once in a while, /var/log/apcid gets so large that it quickly consumes all available disk space, causing a multitude problems. Disabling acpid logging seems to be an effective workaround for this issue as well.
