I don't have such a device, so I'm afraid I either need someone with
such a device to debug this, or get ssh access to an affected machine.
As a first step, please install valgrind, and run this:

  sudo killall upowerd; sudo valgrind --leak-check=full --
/usr/lib/upower/upowerd -v 2>&1 | tee /tmp/upower.log

There should be a lot of text at the initialization, and then I expect
some regular updates for the wireless keyboard/mouse batteries. These
will hopefully go along with some valgrind leak traces. It should be
sufficient to just let that run for maybe 10 minutes, then press
Control-C, and attach /tmp/upower.log here.

Thanks!

** Summary changed:

- upowerd is using too much memory

Title:
  upowerd leaks memory with Logitech universal receiver

Status in “upower” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upower

  I currently have 36 days of uptime on my laptop (using suspend a lot)
  and over time, I've noticed that the upowerd process got to the top of
  the list in terms of memory usage by claiming 1GB+. I can manage with
  this situation since I have 6GB of physical memory, but I'm sure that
  people with less in their laptops will not be so fortunate.
