Comment 2 for bug 164387

Just fixed up the changelog a little to be more complete and include LP references:

  * Merge from debian unstable (LP: #164387), remaining changes:
    - etc/init.d/laptop-mode: Check if laptop mode is disabled in
      /etc/default/laptop-mode (that's the file laptop_mode looks into, too,
      but it incorrectly evaluates the ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE setting) as well
      as in /etc/default/acpi-support.
    - /usr/sbin/laptop_mode: Do not parse arguments, ignore "force" and
      "init" and let start/stop mean enable/disable.
    - /usr/sbin/laptop_mode: Do not read $ACTIVATE_WITH_POSSIBLE_DATA_LOSS
      from /var/run/laptop-mode-state to see if state has changed.
    - Add debian/laptop-mode-tools.postinst: Create /etc/default/laptop-mode
      (with ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=false) if the file does not exist yet and we
      are on ppc.
    - debian/laptop-mode-tools.postinst: Include update-rc.d (LP: #127273)
      (Debian generates the .postinst from dh_makeinit)
    - debian/laptop-mode-tools.preinst: remove any old acpi scripts
    - debian/rules: Don't ship acpi scripts (we handle that ourselves)
    - debian/rules: use rm -f to avoid missing-file message
    - debian/control: change maintainer
  * New Ubuntu-only patch:
    - Do not ship apm scripts and remove any old ones
  * Dropped Ubuntu-patches now upstream:
    - Fix error messages when run as non-root (LP: #77560)
  * New upstream changes closing Ubuntu bugs:
    - laptop-mode-tools uses hparm -B 255 instead of 254 (LP: #172282)
