There are some things (timezone, I think?) that are set in s-c-p and
require more access to the filesystem that we want to give, but the
majority of the s-c-p settings happen in the profile, which lives in
/home/olpc.  We can/should create a customization point for the profile;
I'd like this too, so that a deployment can decide whether to have power
management on or off by default via customization.

Please file a bug.  Thanks,

- Chris.
