powernowd (0.97-2ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  [ dAniel hAhler ]
  * debian/init.d:
    - skip use_ondemand if $OPTIONS != "-q" are given (LP: #67341)
    - activate [...]/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load in
      use_ondemand, when using ondemand governor instead of powernowd
      (LP: #60042)
    - Use /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*/ to match CPUs and
      test if it is a directory (LP: #173711, LP: #107820)
    - Do not use "double slashes" in paths to avoid confusion
  * debian/cpufreq-detect.sh:
    - load e_powersaver if CPU has est flag (LP: #117446)
    - fix comparison for CPU_FAMILY=6 (LP: #162524)
    - use /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash for clarification
      (LP: #162524)
    (Patch from Jacob Nielsen, Ralph Janke)
