[Utnubu-discuss] acpi-support in Debian?

[Joachim Breitner]

Hi,

you mention laptop-mode-tools. It seems to me that this package is
evolving into a general power-saving package, which is fine. Maybe we
should try to put all power-saving related features from acpi-support in
laptop-mode, where there is currently active maintainership, and leave
the other tasks to acpi-support, e.g. hotkey and sleep mode management.

Commends?

Greetings,
Joachim
