Bug Description

The cpufrequtils installs an init script, /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils, that sets the governors at bootup. I changed the default in /etc/default/cpufrequtils, but the script is ineffective because /etc/init.d/ondemand forces the governors to ondemand anyway. What's more, the latter script waits 60 seconds (to allow for a full-speed boot) before applying the governors, so it will always win.

Whoa... It seems to me like
both `/etc/init.d/ondemand`(initscripts package)
and `/etc/init.d/cpufrequtils` (cpufrequtils package)
are trying to do the same job.

This seems like an
un-handled package conflict.
