Yes, I meant -debuginfo ... reading too fast  :-(

But pmtools isn't really an alternative -- it's just an old version of the same
code (also from Intel).

The page at the URL from the pmtools package
(http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/utilities.php) says "The latest ACPICA
package, including iASL compiler is here: http://www.acpica.org/downloads/";,
which is where this package comes from.

The lesswatts initiative dates back to ~2008 and hasn't seen a lot of love
since (the site shows 2.6.26 (July 2008) as the last kernel in the graphs).

(Come to think of it, I have a flourescent-green lesswatts.org shirt from OLS
2008...)
