Here is an updated debdiff:

* In the init script I changed the code so that it specifically checks for the nforce2 driver. This makes it less generic (in case other drivers have a similar issue), but more reliable against timing issues.
* In post{inst,rm} I added code that installs mandatory gconf settings for gnome-power-manager IF it is installed. This disables the cpufreq functionality of gnome-power-manager. I thinks this is desired if people install powernowd.

However this adds a dependency on gconf2.

These changes solve all the issues I had.
