I don't think that is correct. cpufreqd.init has its own code to load
cpu and governor modules. Please find why that is failing instead.
You can add `set -x` in the script and inside the
`load_cpu_module` and `load_governor_modules` functions, that should
tell us what is happening.

Also, loadcpufreq is provided by cpufrequtils so if nothing else you
forgot to add the proper dependency header to the package.

as explained this shouldn't be the case, bringing it back to important.
