  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

+ See also bug #629257 (one lower) for previous (lukewarm) discussions on
+ the implications of showing "(estimating...)" via the user interface.
+ This two bugs might want re-splitting/sorting again based on those that
+ relate to the chrono estimate not being known, and those that relate to
+ the pointless display of that unknown data for long periods of time to
+ the user.
