I just installed sys-power/power-profiles-daemon, enabled and started the service and after logging off and logging back on again, I noticed that this actually adds functionality to kde-plasma/powerdevil (Power Profile functionality). When this is not installed this functionality is unavailable. Perhaps the ebuild should be edited and this should be added as dependency under a USE flag? Arch Linux (see URL) lists this as an optional dependency too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge kde-plasma/powerdevil without having sys-power/power-profiles-daemon installed or running 2.Start a KDE session and check the Battery and Brightness icon. Actual Results: There's no power profile functionality Expected Results: Power Profile functionality emerge --info Portage 3.0.44 (python 3.10.10-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1/systemd/merged-usr,

It is the same as in Gnome... but I am unsure about how to pull in the dependency (for gnome I would be tempted to simply pull in with gnome metapackages as it doesn't add much deps and is a tiny package) The same happens with sys-power/switcheroo-control in gnome (no idea about KDE), but in this case I am unsure about how to handle it as it is useful for people using optimus (or similar) setups, but not for systems with one graphics card
What about adding a USE flag for this functionality?

That's why I think you could add this via a USE flag. I've merged switcheroo-control and does not seem that KDE uses this (as I've got a laptop with Intel / NVIDIA hybrid graphics). It seems that switcheroo-control is only used if you install 3rd party widgets or applets.

Milestone is KF5, bug shows "fixed-in: 5.109", so it will be/is cherry-picked. Ebuilds don't just generate themselves out of ideas, unfortunately.
