hald was not running, but it is installed via hal-trinity metapackage.  I can 
manually start it and kpowersave now has some configurable options.

hald is not getting added to any run levels,

Debian uses rcS.d for 'Boot-time system configuration/initialization script'

rc2.d - rc5.d are multiuser

default runlevel is rc2.d
