Would you mind describing what you're actually experiencing rather than
an ipotetical (and quite unlinkely) situation?
I can assume you're having problems with the sensors plugin from your
submission...

Also please, provide logs (running cpufreqd with -V7 generates a lot of
useful output to trak down issues).

cpufreqd depends on libsensors4, have you considered using
/etc/sensors3.conf?
I guess a possible issue here is that cpufreqd _requires_ a sensors
config file while it's not really necessary to use one when initializing
the library..
