As was discussed some time ago, I'd like to drop cpufrequtils from our
repos. It is dead upstream, and has been replaced by cpupower (in
community).
I see no reason to move cpupower out of community, but let me know if
you disagree.
The only blocker now is that gnome-applets depend on cpufrequtils and
cpupower is not binary/source compatible. There are patches around
though, so shouldn't be a big problem.
Comments?

cpupower currently has no hook for pm-utils. I attached the one I'm using.
gnome-applets are deprecated anyway (they don't work with
gnome-shell). We can just kick out the cpufreq-applet.

Sébastien: Could you have a look at the attached file?

Ok. I'll drop cupfrequtils from the repos, so gnome-applets will have
to drop cpufrq-applet on the next rebuild. Do you want to push a new
version of gnome-applets before I drop the package?

Kyle Keen told me on IRC that archboot is now broken because it
depends of cpufrequtils.

Rather we should fix archboot (probably just a deps to change) as a
quick grep let thinking that only use 2 files which are also provided
by cpupower:
/usr/bin/cpufreq-bench_plot.sh and /etc/cpufreq-bench.conf.

I would release a new version, but util-linux in testing blocks me.
You can always install archboot with -d option.
