For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.4-5etch2.
The stable distribution (lenny) in version 1.0.8-1lenny2 and the unstable distribution (sid) in version 1.0.10-5, have been updated to fix the weak file permissions of the log file created by older versions.
We recommend that you upgrade your acpid packages.");
