New fatrace released, Debian package coming

Paul Wise poked me this morning about uploading fatrace (“file access trace”, see the original announcement for details) to Debian, thanks for the reminder!

So I filed an Intent To Package, and will upload it in a few days, unless some discussion evolves.

I also took the opportunity to do some modernization: The power-usage-report script now uses the current PowerTop 2.x instead of the old 1.13, uses Python 3 now, and includes the “process device activity” in the report. I released this as 0.5. The actual fatrace binary didn’t change its behaviour, it just got some code optimizations; thanks to Yann Droneaud for those.
