I have always said this ought to be done.  The task has just been 
waiting for someone to take it on.  So if you have a clear idea how to 
do it, patches are welcome.  If the changes are disruptive, maybe a new 
git branch would be appropriate.

Looks reasonable, though I only took a cursory glance and don't have 
time at this time for a review of the code.    The other thing I think 
should be done once this conflict is resolved is for eeepc-acpi-scripts 
to exist on a system and not cause undesirable behaviours if the system 
is not, in fact, an eeepc.  This would allow it to be included in the 
'laptop' task in the standard installer and live images.

Thanks for taking this on!
