Jaunty has the package available but is still does not install as it

Bug description:
Binary package hint: eeepc-acpi-scripts

eeepc-acpi-scripts depends on acpi-support-base, which is not available in intrepid. Furthermore, the scripts attempt to load the ath_pci module, which is known not to work with the eeepc. Instead it needs to be updated to use the ath5k module which is included with 2.6.27 kernel, and works fine, providing the ath_pci driver is blacklisted. Otherwise, there is no point in having the package available.
