I don't understand why powertop would be in /bin on arch even after 
reading David's links about usrmerge.  If I saw something like this in 
debian's wiki, I'd probably look into it and let someone know.

On the powertop --autotune thing, I really don;t see any reason to do this 
when on ac power?  Instead, I have found that laptop-mode-tools implements 
some of the solutions already, and can be persuaded to implement the 
others when running on battery power with a couple of simple scripts.
