SRU Justification:

 1. Impact: Minor impact on powerpc users, cpu frequency incorrectly reported; trivial to fix as a cherrypick from upstream
 2. How fixed: Simply need a better egrep regular expression; seems that different architectures report their clock speed differently in /proc/cpuinfo
 3. Patch: in the debdiff
 4. Test Case: on a powerpc system, run 'screen'. Observe that the cpu-frequency is not reported correctly in the status bar.
 5. Regression potential: Virtually no chance. I have tested this code on all architectures I can access. It's just a better regular expression.
