When resposibility is reestablished for /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf the ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_BATTERY=yes default from debian's laptop-mode package will and can enable laptop_mode when on batteries, no problem.

Package pm-utils has had a hacked laptop-tools script in hardy all the time that did just that.
