Everybody else just checks for kded and that seems to work fine.

Actually, I think thats indeed more correct: If kded is running (ie. somebody is logged into a KDE session), I can assume that KDE takes care of the Power Button event, may it be via PowerDevil or some other app. I never ever want to have somebody accidentally hitting the power button (think of the stupid setup at my university's lab where people never know if the PC right or left of them is the one for their screen) kill my session just because PowerDevil wasn't running for some reason. I prefer the power button not doing anything over it accidentally killing my session.

I think (haven't tried though) that the logout block isn't needed because PowerDevil takes care of showing the logout request (on all sessions?).

Simples way to go, at least for karmic, would be to just sync acpid/acpi-support/acpi-support-base with the upstream Debian version (IMHO).
