Package: latencytop
Version: 0.3-2
Severity: minor

I had tried latencytop a number of times, but never got any useful info
from it. Today I finally found out why: it needs to be enabled first.

Please add in the man page that one needs to

   echo -n 1 >/proc/sys/kernel/latencytop

to enable it, and warn to disable it when done because of the overhead
latencytop tracing has when activated.

Cheers,
FJP
