Hi Petter, First of all, sorry for the long delay. I've been quite busy last months and couldn't allocate much time to the maintenance of the tlp package. Now with the rush of the soft freeze I'm trying to prepare a new version of the package which I hope will be ready in time before January 5th.
I didn't know about the isenkram program and I'm pleased to see that
Debian is at last providing such a tool to help people to get the best
from their hardware, and I have carefully read your e-mail but still, I
have some questions that I'd like to ask you.

The first question that comes to my mind is about the way you used
globbing in this modalias line. What exactly does a "*" globs ?
Would this line:
<modalias>dmi:*:pvrThinkPad*:*</modalias>
work as expected, and if not, why ?
Secondly, unlike what your snippet suggests, tlp is not only for
ThinkPads, but works on all brands of laptops, so I'm trying to come up
with a modalias encompassing all laptops.
With information I found on your blog about chassis type, I think that a
list of suitable modalias lines would be:
<modalias>dmi:*:ct8:*</modalias> ("Portable")
<modalias>dmi:*:ct9:*</modalias> ("Laptop")
<modalias>dmi:*:ct10:*</modalias> ("Notebook")
What do you think ?
Also, what about "Hand Held" chassis type ? Is it for phones/tablets ?
If so, should it be included too ?
Thank you in advance for your help !
Regards,
