Public bug reported:

We've been carrying /etc/init.d/ondemand for many years. We should
revisit if booting with a kernel that defaults to "ondemand" right away
is still actually slower than "performance".

In the short term, systemd should grow a "Type=idle" unit that switches
to ondemand, to replace the static "1 minute" sleep. This will also get
rid of the last init.d script in "initscripts" that we actually use, and
pave the way for dropping the initscripts package.

In the long term, we could drop it completely if "ondemand" DTRT.
