Bug Description

pbbuttonsd takes care of apm functions on powerpc. Could you take apmd out of
the dependencies for ubuntu-desktop on powerpc?

On my powerpc system, since apm can't figure out my power situation, it assumes
I'm on battery--even though I'm on a desktop system. This stops anacron from
running.

I'd appreciate if a way could be found to either remove apm from ppc, or to make
it assume ac power is on. Thanks for all your work on Ubuntu, aside from this
I'm liking it very much.
