Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ntp
The current design of ntp makes it generate at least 1 wakeup/second, thus disallowing the CPU to enter deeper states of sleep [1]. I propose applying a patch from Fedora which solves this issue. Previous attempts at integrating it upstream failed [2], despite the fact that the patch is used in Fedora for a long time. Hopefully, with the increasing need for energy efficient computing and Ubuntu validating the approach, upstream will be more willing to integrate the fix. I attach the patch which has to be copied to debian/patches and added to debian/series.
