That's fair!

Well, if explicitly setting variables is the standard, then I suggest changing `handle-lid-switch-external-power` to the same value as `handle-lid-switch` ("suspend"). I agree that the current setting isn't harmful, but this change would match the default, unconfigured behavior of `elogind`. It would also be more consistent with other distros' defaults from what I've experienced.
