Bastien, is is possible to have a simple udev rule that tells upower
to
ignore the battery device if builtin_power_supply is there?
That way we can tell people running old upower to use this to be sure
to
ignore the kernel device and just rely on the upower hidpp support?

I'm not sure where we'd ship that in a way that would make it work
differently based on the version of UPower. In UPower? Well, UPower
0.99.x is the stable track for UPower, and the git master already has
support for this feature.

I'm not sure what else would need to be done.

I was more thinking at a snippet that we drop on this mailing list
(here) that users can carefully copy/paste in their /etc and remove
themself once they upgrade the system.
Though OTOH, that's relying on users remembering that they have a
special conf that need to be removed in a later update.

Cheers,
Benjamin
