This is because gnome-power-manager kicks in and activates its profile
for AC power / battery mode and sets the governor back to ondemand
(which then fails) which is the default.

The debdiff here fixes this by setting a mandatory default to disabled,
which means that gnome-power-manager will not deal with cpu throttling.
