These code paths weren't even getting run, because of:

  $ grep LAPTOP_MODE /etc/default/acpi-support
  ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=false

However, I think this is /where/ the values are coming from:

  $ grep -r LM_.*_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf
  LM_AC_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=5
  LM_BATT_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=5

Just a question of figuring out how /that/ would be called:

  $ dpkg -L laptop-mode-tools | grep \\.d/
  /etc/apm/event.d/laptop-mode
  /etc/power/scripts.d/laptop-mode
  /etc/power/event.d/laptop-mode
  /etc/init.d/laptop-mode
