Package: powertop
Version: 1.10-1
Severity: normal

Changelog says this version is supposed to support sys power interface,
but I get:

no ACPI power usage estimate available

I looked at powertop's code, and it seems to require a energy_now file
that is not present for this laptop's battery.

/usr/bin/acpi and hal manage to get estimates for this laptop.
