Package: powertop
Version: 2.11-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: sedat.di...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I promised the PowerTop upstream maintainer to write a Debian bug-report.
Sorry for the delay.

PowerTop v2.13 was released @ 11-Jun.2020.

I compiled PowerTop v2.13 out of Git and installed it in /opt/powertop.

Inspired by the Arch Linux wiki in [2] I wrote up a powertop.service file.

root# systemctl cat powertop.service
# /etc/systemd/system/powertop.service
[Unit]
Description=Powertop tunings

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/powertop --auto-tune

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Can you please update PowerTop in Debian to version 2.13?

And add a powertop.service file?
PowerTop upstream offers a powertop.service in "Add service file" (see [3]).
This commit is post v2.13.

Thanks.

Regards,
- Sedat -
