If you have looked/understood the sources you will understand why good devs strongly deprecate it.

Also bear in mind kernel-power has changed a fair bit since this package was up dated and it depends on it.

Edit:-

Please note highlighted by recent issues, I have serious concerns about the following packages.

batterypatch:-
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...terypatch/8.2/
This package is currently in extras-devel

*Sets a fairly agressive overclock to devices after installation, only warning of this is in details/description section.

*Potential damage to system components via an application is a serious security risk and blocker.

*Doesn't un-install cleanly and leaves residue in root.

*This package checks for kernel-power version, before setting it's clock speeds, only kp versions 40-48 are checked.

*Batterypatch kernel-settings are reloaded at stop/start hildon-desktop, so can cause lag if h-d restarts (large upstart script).

*debian/coyright file doesn't contain "a verbatim copy of its copyright information and distribution license"

*Some above issues do not conform to Debian Policy manual version 3.7.2.2 of which Maemo is based on.

speedpatch:-
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...peedpatch/4.0/
This package is currently in extras

*Modifies /syspart without warning which has potential to damage future installed packages.

*Uses it's own version of /syspart as a stock reference which could cause issues even after removal.

*Doesn't un-install cleanly and leaves residue in root. One obvious example is /etc/event.d/speedpatch is still there after uninstallation.

*There are multiple negative QA votes from respected members of the forum explaining issues, which have not been addressed/answered before promotion.
I doubt the positive QA voters have tested the package correctly, most have no Karma. Also I feel it has been promoted unfairly.

See QA vote by freemangordon CSSU developer below.
x] Bug database exist. OK

[x] Licensing ok. FAIL copyright file contains only string "GPL",never seen such licensing

[x] No illegal/dubious content. OK

[x] Working provided features. OK. The only feature I can see is creating new cgroup for terminal started applications.

[x] No missing announced features. FAIL The software claims to achieve system speedup. As it does nothing more than creating an additional cgroup and moving terminal started application into it and having in mind that terminal applications are minority, technicaly I do not see any way in which any speedup for non-terminall applications could be achieved. And also there is no explanation from the author on the matter.

[x] Optification ok. OK.

[x] No performance problems. OK. As this SW does nothing, there should not be performance impact.

[x] No power management issues. OK, same as above

[x] No known security risks. OK
*debian/coyright file doesn't contain "a verbatim copy of its copyright information and distribution license"

*Some above issues do not conform to Debian Policy manual version 3.7.2.2 of which Maemo is based on.


Due to information complied above these are deemed unstable and will be added to the known broken packages list.
