Yes, that's the other thing I was going to suggest:

  $ sudo acpi_fakekey 194
  interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device; member=Condition
 string "ButtonPressed" string "f24"

If you'd prefer that, 'hald-addon-keyboard' can be patched to send "battery" for that key and then you wouldn't have to worry when/if we get a better assignment as it'll be abstracted away.
