Will it make sense to have a "readme.ARM" or some other file in powertop which describes this step ? Any suggestions on how best to do this ?

Compiling natively (on target) or in a qemu-based armel environment on the desktop will be required. I'm hoping our debian friends will suggest some nifty tricks to make this easy.

xdeb cross-buildt it fine :-)

xdeb --apt-source -a armel powertop should cross-build the pre-dependencies and powertop itself and output powertop_1.11+git20091208-0ubuntu1_armel.deb which has an ARM ./usr/sbin/powertop

For this to work, you want: * a maverick install or chroot * hrw's cross-toolchain packages installed * xdeb and build-essential installed
