I am running sid on a Thinkpad X200 (12" with standard size keyboard,
1.5kg). The medium sized six-cell battery lasts about 4-5.5 hours, but
there are nine-cell batteries as well.

What do you mean by "Debian's power management"? Debian doesn't do
anything special. The most important part is to use a current kernel.
2.6.33 brought a noticeable drop in power usage on my system. But you
might have trouble running such a recent kernel on a lenny system.
