Sorry Ricky, I often don't know which packages a lot of these bugs are tied to.

I spoke with a friend with an IBM Thinkpad with accelerometers originally designed to be used for detecting if the notebook is falling (drop-detection). He told me that someone wrote a driver so that apparently it acts as an input device, basically as a joystick. Is this also the case for the MacBook, which also has accelerometers?

Typically the MacBook wakes on interaction with an input device. If the accelerometer is acting as an input device, it would be really nice if it were prevented from being an acceptable input device for system wake.
