** Description changed:

  The drop-down menu for the indicator-applet battery icon menu says
  "Laptop battery (estimating...)"
  
  At a minimum this be fixed to read "Laptop batter (estimating time...)"
  or "Laptop battery (estimating battery life...)".
  
  Ideally if the remaining battery *time* is not known (because less than
  sufficient datapoints have been collected to enable estimation) then the
  percentage should be displayed in-lieu.  The percentage is already
  available and is used to drive the indicator-applet icon itself.
  
  The current implementation is specified by:
  
-   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu#Items
+   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu#Items
  
  but because the "estimating..." text can exist for days-on-end (nearly a
  week in the case of this computer) it probably needs a slight tweak or
  design addition to take account of the time estimation not being
  available for long periods of time.
+ 
+ See bug #629258 for previous (lukewarm) discussions on the lower-stack
+ issues.  This two bugs might want re-splitting/sorting again based on
+ those that relate to the chrono estimate not being known, and those that
+ relate to the pointless display of that unknown data for long periods of
+ time.
