uhmm, actually, if I set --logevents --debug for acpid, pressing some
"Fn+F2" I get:
acpid: procfs received event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001002"
acpid: rule from 3417[0:0] matched
acpid: notifying client 3417[0:0]
acpid: rule from 3371[107:115] matched
acpid: notifying client 3371[107:115]
acpid: rule from /etc/acpi/events/lenovo-lockbtn matched
acpid: executing action "/etc/acpi/lockbtn.sh"

It seems that debian standard kernel still manage acpi procfs. Is it
right? It is true however that "Fn+<arrow keys>" are not captured by
acpi.
