> What you are proposing is hijacking "powernowd" package for a purpose which would be better acomplished in other ways.

No, I'm informing you that this is *already* the purpose of the package in Ubuntu. And ondemand *is* better than powernowd (see what upstream kernel power management developers have to say about this), so we need a solution that uses powernowd only as a fallback.
