This is a follow-up to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99446 where brix
refused to include any scripts supporting either standard or non-standard ACPI
events in sys-power/acpi.

The acpid ebuild does not install any event handlers except one for the power
button, which leaves the user on their own for configuring responses to acpi events.

Ubuntu Hoary includes the following package:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/admin/acpi-support

Either this package should be ported directly to Gentoo, or its functionality
should be rolled into a new set of scripts and put into a new ebuild, e.g.
acpi-scripts.
