Thanks, surreal, for comment #11. This is seems to be a bug in eee pc hardware. However, if we were to "fix" this bug, we have to do it in the acpi package. I'm going to mark this triaged since it has been discussed with Debian, and the logs mentioned to illustrate that eee pcs seem to not be following ACPI standards, causing this bug. I'll also attach the ACPI package.

Regarding bug importance:
I didn't set the importance, but I think "Low" makes sense [1]. "A cosmetic/usability issue that does not limit the functionality of an application." If applications shutdown when they are not intended to shut down (causing potential data loss), then we can bump it up to Medium or even High. I set bug #392467 to Medium, but it most likely should be low. Changing it now won't affect anything since it has been marked for expiration 11 days ago.
