There are keyboards with power/sleep buttons. It makes sense they have
the same behavior than ACPI buttons.

Agree, make them behave like ACPI buttons -- remove them from input stream, as they do not belong there...

What if there is no ACPI? What if I want to remap the button to do
something else? Input layer is the proper place for them.


Err .. that's what I meant, sorry I was not clear. Matthew's solution
looks right.

If there is no ACPI, you don't have ACPI buttons to remap. Remapping power/lid/sleep button is not wise at least, just because you boot once with acpi=off and get unclean shutdown instead of your intended remapped keystroke.
