battery life was definitly better in squeeze with 2.6
kernel, got ~ 5 hours
from my x61, now on devuan I get ~ 2 hours out of the same battery capacity.

My kernel version (Jessie) is 3.2.0-4-686-pae,
and I don't observe a good energy usage
of the battery, always very lower compared
to Windows and my desktop is recent (april 2015).
