I was the one who wrote that code for Dell i18k drivers. I think you are  
right. That check is useless for packagers. Maybe the packagers should 
bundle all the laptop related stuff in a separate package. The i18k plugin 
can then be included in that package. 
 
In any case, I think we can remove that configure check. I will take it out.
