Could it be more sensible to use kevent and dbus for sending all events

For most of the events, probably. I'm less convinced by the button
driver - sleep and power buttons can also generate keycodes rather than
ACPI events, and so getting the button driver to behave like an input
device adds consistency.
I think you will agree that ACPI buttons are special and will need special handling even in input stream...
Generic application does not need to know if power, sleep, or lid button is pressed, so you will need to intercept them from input stream... I cannot find any reason to mix these buttons into input, do you?
