Comment 7 for bug 198808

I'm currently discussing this with Matthew Garret via email. I'm currently trying to understand what's necessary to drop that patch and maintain behaviour compatibility to previous releases.

It's quite clear to me that we can't and shouldn't break upstream behaviour eternally. We should rather add the necessary quirks to hal-info (the ones which acpi-support did in earlier releases), since this is a fixed and diminishing target.
