Ok, right, overlooked that one.

I disable *everything* and enable only the necessary things I need for my
laptop. I detest those thousand-modules-dist-kernels, brrr. Seriously, that
is something that should be written somewhere. Take as an example the 
man page of iotop:
       iotop  watches  I/O  usage  information  output  by  the  Linux  kernel
       (requires 2.6.20 or later) and displays a table of current I/O usage by
       processes or threads on the system. At least the CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT
       and CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING options need to be enabled in your  Linux
       kernel build configuration, these options depend on CONFIG_TASKSTATS.
That is clearly documented behaviour and needs. Please add something
similar either to README.Debian, the man page, or any other place
you think is appropriate.

Best wishes
