There's a debian-devel thread that may be of
interest ... it started out discussing how
userspace PM has integration issues too.

apmd is just the userspace part of GNU/Linux's support for the APM
specification. (There is also the apm driver in the kernel and, of
course, the APM BIOS firmware which does most of the work.) apmd alone
isn't a battery monitor.
I do agree with you in one respect, though. There should be a unified
power management infrastructure in userspace into which things like
apmd, acpid or usbupsd could plug. You might be interested in the
discussion that took place on the debian-devel mailing list under the
heading "Common power management infrastructure". It is logged here:
