So you have got a laptop and without a GUI and want to do some powersaving? What exactly do you need? Because the old powersave package did many different things. And not all of them are still useful today. E.g. cpufreq. And the thermal control settings did not always work. However, without a GUI, the powersave package offered some useful things that are not directly related to powersaving: * executing actions depending on the battery state, e.g., shut down if only 2% battery are left * assigning actions to special buttons, e.g., the power button The latter is now handled by systemd (and not acpid anymore), see "man logind.conf". Furthermore, logind lets you define idle actions like suspend after 5 minutes.
The package is gone. I already know the Powertop tool which does a good job, but it's interactive.
There are the packages tlp and laptop-mode-tools. However, I stopped using them. Most of these powersaving options are not worth the effort. Many powersaving options are already activated by default today. And these that are not, might crash your SSD (SATA Link Power Management) or occasionally slow down your Intel WiFi to 54 Mbps after a suspend/resume cycle (iw dev wlp3s0 set power_save on).
