powerstat just won't work in Wheezy.

How this package got tested before the initial upload? There are only a
few days delay between the _two_ uploads.

Forgot to Cc: the bug in my earlier replies to Mehdi.

So, originally, we extensively tested this on Ubuntu on 3.2 and 3.4 kernels, however, we had omitted to test with /proc/acpi/battery disabled which was bad oversight on my behalf. Subsequently for the 0.1.17-1 changes I've tested this on Wheezy + unstable updates + also with Ubuntu with 3.4 and 3.5 kernels on a range of 4 laptops which handle the battery status differently - a Dell, Lenovos and a HPMini.

Hope that clarifies things.
