Package: linux-cpupower
Version: 6.9.8-1
Followup-For: Bug #894906
X-Debbugs-Cc: pitsiorisj@outlook.com

Hello everyone and thank you for your great work. I am a former user of the
obsolete cpufrequtils and of the unmaintained (by debian) cpupower-gui. I was
using those tools until 2021 to set my governor to powersave the summmer
months. Then I discovered linux-cpupower, which I used by running "cpupower
frequency-set -g powersave" on every boot.

I was also annoyed by the lack of a systemd service and a config file in
debian, until I tried the attached files here. I am having the following issue.
The service sometimes fails to start on boot. I added the -x parameter and
removed the "> /dev/null || ESTATUS=1" from line 20 of /usr/libexec/cpupower so
as to get a better error output, but all I get is this

$ sudo journalctl -b -u cpupower.service
