This is not an appropriate way to declare a package "obsolete". If you think a package should not be used, file a bug to get it removed from the archive and *then* invalidate the bugs. ** Changed in: powernowd (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- cpu-scaling setup initscript should be

Cesare, why do you see this as a distribution policy issue? I see this as a simple modification (split the powernowd pkg and add a /etc/default file). Of course nothing forbids the user to modify its boot script, but... you really think this is a clean approach? And - what such a silly modification

Yup totally agree. And the name 'powernow' gets confused with AMD's scaling technology. Moving this to a new package called something like 'cpufreq-scaling' and having a new '/etc/default/' configuration file with proper relevant options needs to be done. It's too late for Feisty, but perhaps we
