In not so recent past, powertop2 alpha has been released [1] and it

currently in version 1.97. It is usuable and I was thinking about

So I will have to package it as powertop2 because it is completely
different tool.
Does it have sense to package it as powertop2? Or should rather powertop
package maintainer update powertop package with new sources (even when
they are considered as alpha)?
Is powertop1 going to continue to be updated ? I would assume not,
and having both in the archive is just going to cause confusion.
What's wrong with waiting for the non-alpha version, and then updating
the existing powertop package ?
