Yeah as Brian I came by this a while ago (and now again). Bug 1891336 is about the same. This one here is older and closer to a conclusion. So I'll make the other one a dup, but added bug-tasks and an update-excuse tag to show up in excuses.

This isn't particularly suitable for projects that previously used libcpufreq and intend to migrate to libcpupower, because the libcpupower.so symlink is no longer installed. The command-line tools can also have symlinks (e.g. cpupower -> cpupower_$(abi_version)).
