Upstream has released version 0.21, which makes ppd battery-state aware and which should provide improved battery life: > Since this release power-profiles-daemon is battery-state aware and some drivers > use a more power efficient state when using the balanced profile on battery. > In particular both the AMD and Intel P-State drivers will use the > balance_power EPP profile, while for Intel one we also set the energy > performance bias to 8 (instead of 6). Unfortunately, I cannot link to the relevant release, as this is a new account.
I've bumped the package to 0.21 in my local overlay and it builds and runs fine. However, upstream has added manpage generation (requires dev-python/argparse-manpage, which is not available for ~arm) and bash completion (requires app-shells/bash-completion), which may require some additional consideration.
It's fine - and even preferred, really - to just drop kws on the bump (see bottom part of https://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/index.html#keywording-on-upgrades)
