 SUMMARY = "A daemon for delivering ACPI events"
+DESCRIPTION = "ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for \
+delivering ACPI events. It listens on netlink interface (or on the \
+deprecated file /proc/acpi/event), and when an event occurs, executes programs \
+to handle the event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of \
+configuration files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the \
+admin."
