cpufrequtils init script lacks multi-cpu support - fix included

Bug Description

Binary package hint: cpufrequtils

When you enter a governor into /etc/defaults/cpufrequtils , this governor is only applied to cpu 0, as indicated in the manpage of cpufrequtils ("Omitting the -c or --cpu argument is equivalent to setting it to zero.").
This causes, especially in multicore-cpus, such as a core2duo, that no scaling of the cpu frequency is done anyway.

A modified init-script fixes this issue by applying the supplied parameters to ALL cpus, which fixes this issue. Please see attachment.

Please include in a future version of this package.
