I tried looking through the apt-cache of Trisquel, and there are three
occurences of "ac". One is part of the GNU Accounting Utilities
package, and the other two are part of ACPI. Based on the command
usage, I'm guessing it's the former.

As Bob mentioned, this Savannah mailing list is too general to answer
your question. You could try posting to one of the GNU Accounting
Utilities mailing lists. The project homepage is [1]. They should be
able to help you better.
