Thanks, this was a super-informative email - also glad to see you're
finding the yeeloong useful :-)

Re: backporting, current plan is to rebase gNewSense metad on Debian
Squeeze, which currently ships with gnome-power-manager 2.28 - however
that might be updated to 2.30 before the (probably around June) freeze,
and when the (probably before end of year) release happens a newer
version will probably get in squeeze-backports.

BTW if you happen to be around Cambridge sometime, I could use help
getting some build infrastructure up for that (same place as dinner).
