Package: nvram-wakeup
Version: 0.97-7
Severity: normal

nvram-wakeup always configures the BIOS to start the system 5 minutes
earlier than requested. This is confusing and not well documented.

The -s parameter apparently says that you want the system "up and
running" by that time. nvram-wakeup allows 5 minutes to boot up; that
number is hard-coded in constant WAKEUP_BEFORE in nvram-wakeup.h.
That constant is mentioned briefly in README.gz, but its value is not
given.

It would be more intuitive if you just told nvram-wakeup the time you
wanted the system to power back on. Let the user worry about setting it
early if they need to.

So, my suggestions:

1. At least document that it will boot 5 minutes early in
nvram-wakeup(1).

2. Better yet, allow the early time to be configurable. This is probably
the best bet for backwards compatibility.

3. Best yet, set WAKEUP_BEFORE to zero.
