Hi, Sorry if it has been already answered elsewhere, I didn't find anything on this matter despite a fair bit of googling (except the two years old bug #778249). So, I'm the maintainer of the TLP package and one of its functions need the x86_energy_perf_policy binary. It's not mandatory by any means, TLP offers many other features to save battery power, but my question is more from personal curiosity. Ubuntu provides this tool in the linux-tools package, but in Debian it's not provided at all. Currently I plan to prepare an upload that I hope will make it to stretch, which will use a substitution variable to generate different dependencies for Debian and Ubuntu. But still, by sheer curiosity, I'd like to know : is there a reason for Debian not providing this binary, and/or plans to change that ? Please CC me when answering, as I'm not subscribed to the list. Regards, -- Raphaël Halimi
