Package: olpc-powerd
Version: 23-2
Severity: normal

Dear Andres,

the powerd version in Debian is rather old and doesn't support the ARM
based XO models (XO-1.75, XO-4) at all. It would be great to have an
up to date version in Debian. Upstream [1] is currently at v110.

There have been significant changes upstream (e.g. dbus service,
olpc-switchd daemon) so some work on the packaging will be required.

If you're already at it, how about switching to git-buildpackage? ;)

Sascha
