I think that would be this issue:
https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/125

which seems to be kind of the inverse of:

https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/85

Both are 'scheduled' for the alpha release - so we'll (have to) tackle
them real soon.

I briefly looked at wifi power saving, but didn't integrate it.

If you have some more info, can you share it here?
https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/172 (Like: how to
enable/disable it)

Sounds like a good idea. There is no debian/ package directory yet,
right? So we'd have to work on that to get it packaged.
