Hi,

Please remove xfce4-governor-plugin (universe) from the archive.

It's not in unstable, outdated, unmaintained, buggy, and useless (people
shouldn't be able to change their power governor directly, but use a
power manager instead).

Thanks.

The plug-in indeed crashes quite often disappearing from the panel, while the "Properties" dialogue does not open. However it is by no means useless. It is very handy in switching from "ondemand" to "powersave" and back in order to prevent newish laptops from over-heating (those that have several cores, especially from AMD).

It would of course be nice if the Debian devels imported it to unstable. But please do not remove it.

I also disagree to the statement of useless. I use it almost every day, and it never crashed or disappeared from my panel... From switching it from on-demand when being mobile to performance when I'm flash-gaming and I don't want any stutters or when I'm running simulations for my studies and need all the process-power my system with all my cores running at top-speed.
Xfce4-power-manager doesn't have an option where you can choose between those setting. Removing the possibility to set that with an easy GUI would definitely be a step back!

As you wish. But we warned that it is completely unmaintained upstream and not really in Ubuntu.
