By using powertop and reading the radeon/feature page on x.org I managed to reduce the power consumption when on batery by about 4W on my laptop (from about 22W to 18W). I just followed the recommendations on: http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature
and did:
$ sudo -c sh 'echo "auto" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile'
This solution, if it doesn't trigger problems for anyone, should be made either the default or easily configurable through some file in /etc.
Binary package hint: xserver- xorg-video- radeon
