Integration of the laptop-mode-tools package with the rest of the default system
The laptop-mode-tools package is installed by default, but if enabled it adds a completely separate power management overlay that doesn't integrate with any of the rest of the system packages (and doesn't respect preferences set in those packages). This should be rectified.
