Description : Automatic CPU speed & power optimizer
Automatic CPU speed & power optimizer for, Linux based on active
monitoring of a laptop's battery state, CPU usage, CPU temperature and
system load. Ultimately allowing you to improve battery life without
making any compromises.
Features:
* Monitoring
* Basic system information
* CPU frequency (system total & per core)
* CPU usage (system total & per core)
* CPU temperature (total average & per core)
* Battery state
* System load
* CPU frequency scaling, governor and turbo boost management based on
* Battery state
* CPU usage (total & per core)
* CPU temperature in combination with CPU utilization/load (prevent
overheating)
* System load
* Automatic CPU & power optimization (temporary and persistent)

I found this package through this post on Debian Planet:
https://foolcontrol.org/?p=4603
This is a tool similar to already existing tools in Debian,
specifically TLP. According to the auto-cpufreq author though:
> Using tools like TLP can help in this situation with extending

So I'm not exactly clear on what the overlap between the two is, but I
do feel there's some room in this space for another option. TLP is
rather "heavy" in terms of the number of things it does, it's a rather
big pill to swallow, with all sorts of pitfalls...
I like the idea of having a simple, one-task-focused tool.
I do not currently have the cycles to evaluate this any further, but
would love to collaborate on further research when I have time.
Otherwise, if anyone is interested in pursuing this any further,
please go right ahead (but keep this bug in CC!).

Description:
auto-cpufreq - Automatic CPU speed and power optimizer for Linux
Closes: 1053294
Changes:
auto-cpufreq (3.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Initial packaging. (Closes: #1053294)
* d/patches: switch the build backend from poetry_dynamic_versioning to
poetry-core with a static version; replace the git-URL pyinotify
dependency with a plain one, relax the urwid constraint, and drop the
unused pyasyncore dependency.
* d/patches: fix the systemd unit to use the FHS path /usr/bin/auto-cpufreq.
* d/patches: remove the --update self-update CLI option; it downloads and
runs the upstream installer, which is unsuitable for a packaged build.
* d/patches: rename the --install/--remove CLI options to --enable/--disable
and reroute them to systemctl; the upstream installer is incompatible with
dpkg.
* d/patches: look for the GTK CSS and icon in /usr/share instead of
/usr/local/share.
* d/install: ship style.css and icon.png, which the GTK frontend loads at
startup.
* d/patches: use the packaged cpufreqctl script instead of copying it into
/usr/local/bin at runtime.
* d/install: ship cpufreqctl.sh as
/usr/lib/auto-cpufreq/cpufreqctl.auto-cpufreq.
* d/auto-cpufreq.1, d/auto-cpufreq-gtk.1: add man pages.
* d/patches: make the GUI daemon buttons use --enable/--disable; they
still called the removed --install/--remove options and always failed.
* d/patches: update the remaining messages that still referred to the
removed --install/--remove options.
* d/patches: don't crash in the GTK frontend when the system exposes no
CPU scaling governors.
