Since HAL does not fully replace acpid yet (i.e. on my system to get the
screen to turn off when I close the lid I have to use acpid), then we
don't call the disable-acpi-acpid because it gives the posibility for
those that have acpid installed for HAL to work through it. However if
you don't, it will use the /proc/acpi/event interface.
