Binary package hint: laptop-mode-tools

Laptop-mode won't be activated unless ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true is also set in /etc/default/acpi-support. (/etc/init./laptop-mode checks that)

Therefor two places exist in ubuntu where disk-idleing (aka laptop-mode) needs to be anabled. The other is in laptop-mode.conf)

It is suggested to separate the disk-ideling (aka laptop_mode) configuration from the acpi-support (button/event support) package and to remove this setting from /etc/default/acpi-support.

(Leaving laptop-mode.conf for that)

(The current laptop-mode disk-idleing approach seems to be a left-over from before the ubuntu-laptop-mode package was droped for laptop-mode-tools.)
