ITP powstatd: UPS monitoring daemon

[Peter S Galbraith]

I intent to package powstatd, a configurable UPS monitoring
daemon.

`Assuming you have a "dumb" UPS that corresponds with your machine
via a serial connection, you should be able to configure powstatd
in just a few minutes. I am running powstatd with a variety of
Cyberpower UPS supplies (325VA, 385VA, 450VA and 500VA models) as
well as some older APC units.'

The software was recommended to me by Cyberpower when I inquired
about Linux support. The software was non-free, but contact last
week with the upstream author (whose brother is a Debian fan) was
fruitful and version 1.1 is now GPLed. Upstream also wants all
Debian build patches to have such that `make debian' or something
will work out of the box. Very nice guy too.

I have not packaged it yet, but I have used it a wee bit and it
fulfills its promise of being really easy to configure.
