Package: laptop-mode-tools
Version: 1.49-1
Severity: normal

The USB autosuspend feature may cause problems with many USB keyboards
and mice on kernel 2.6.30. Many such devices have broken autosuspend
support, so that they take a lot of time to wake up, resulting in lost
keystrokes or mouse events for extended periods of time.

Previous kernels did not autosuspend HID devices, therefore this
problem did not appear.

The unconditional USB autosuspend is probably a bad idea. At the very
least, there should be a prominent warning in
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf.
