I had the problem on a new install. It weas a fresh wheezy + TDE14 install.
On synaptics at least some "informations" are problematic. Actually, three packages are (more or less available):
I first looked for kpowersave (that's what I am used to) and found two pakackages:
- kpowersave-trinity, requiring HAL (it is sitll there, it installs but
does not work: I get a greyed out icon in the system tray). Trying to start it complained about HAL not being installed
- kpowersave-nohal-trinity, indicated as a dummy package. When I tried to
install it colored red and said it depended on a package (I think now it was tdepowersave, but I am not sure) that was not to be installed.
After reading the list I removed the non-working kpowersave and apt-get installed tdepowersave and that works perfectly.
I don't know if the two kpowersave are necessary, but most "old" users being used to them they actually work as a trap :)

Hi Thierry, kpowersave has been replaced in Linux by tdepowersave. In Wheezy it is still available, but in Jessie it will no longer be there, since HAL is not available anymore and so kpowersave does not build in Jessie at all.

?? Jessie & R14
I have tdepowersave-trinity here, only one kdepowersave package...the 'dummy' package.
