Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: powertop
By default, 'powertop' prints information such as:
"PowerTOP needs to be run as root to collect enough information"
and:
"echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs"
The first message can be changed to be more generic "root, or using
'sudo $0'". The second message can check $0 of the parent process and
if being run via sudo display suggestions as:
echo 1500 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
** Affects: powertop (Ubuntu)

Status: New
** Changed in: powertop (Ubuntu)
