Comment 41 for bug 223812

gatopeich's proposed fix is incorrect. The powernowd package in Ubuntu implements Ubuntu's default power management policy, which /deliberately/ does not use powernowd+cpufreq_userspace if a better governor (ondemand) is available. So that init script would be a definite regression in another direction.

Hanno, your latest patch looks correct to me, except that now g-p-m no longer touches the governor settings and therefore there's no reason to mess with gconftool-2 in the maintainer scripts. Could you provide an updated fix that drops these changes?

I think we ought to also fix the package's description, since it's wildly inaccurate in Ubuntu, if you happen to be inclined to look at that - otherwise I'm happy to fix that myself.
