Hi Alberto, thank you for the reply! It motivated me to recheck the
history of the changes for 'nvidia-prime' package.

On Ubuntu 18.04 the last released nvidia-prime package version is 0.8.8.2, it 
includes fixes for related bugs:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1778011
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1797147 
But the issue is still reproducible: NVIDIA GPU default power control mode is 
"on" in intel mode and PowerTop reports the chip as consuming energy.

By checking version history I did found you have made very similar fixes
by udev rules in version 0.8.13, that looks as an even more extensive
fix (NVIDIA GPU is not enabled completely instead of tweaking its power
mode). Agree with you that users of Ubuntu 19.10 and newer should
recheck whether the package version is at least 0.8.13.

Users of Ubuntu (18.04 18.10 19.04) versions are affected since the
package is older for those distributions. Hope this info helps for
others.
