Package: cpufrequtils Version: 008-1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
I've just repurposed an old AMD box as backup "server" and installed jessie on it, along with cpufreq-utils. 1) The debconf question on whether to enable it or not doesn't work (anymore): chris@mrmackey:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure cpufrequtils update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults (Nothing else happens, it was the same during the initial install.) 2) The default (enable init scripts) isn't useful on jessie on halfway modern -- this one is from 2009 -- systems. Systemd takes ~4 s longer to boot with it on. It selects the wrong cpufreq driver, and then fails loading it because the kernel has already autoloaded the newer default. The ondemand governor, that is loaded by the init scripts by default, already *is* the kernel default. So the init scripts are just expensive noops. Maybe they're still needed in some cases but I think the default should be off (with a working low prio debconf question to enable).
