Package: powertop
Version: 2.6.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #691594

Dear Maintainer,

this bug is still present in the current testing (jessie) version.

Also, the action taken when disabling audio power management again is wrong:
According to its own output, pwertop does
  echo '' > /sys/...
but shouldn't it send a 0? At least on my system, with the module parameter
setting this to 10, writing '' actually *enables* power management (with
a timeout of 10 seconds).

Kind regards,
Ralf
