Well. The thing is that I'm using the kernel from debian-kernel team with this 
entry in latest changelog :

linux-2.6 (2.6.24-1~experimental.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
(...)
  * [amd64, i386]: Enable ACPI_SYSFS_POWER and disable ACPI_PROCFS_POWER.

So this is visibly the default behavior which is about to land in 
experimental.

This is still a bug in hal though. :)

Didier
