This is the key part that I don't understand, why don't we just trust
the kernel?  If the kernel sets the wrong governor on certain hardware
isn't that the bug that needs fixing?   On one system without this
script it defaults to ondemand, on another it goes to performance..
AFAICT our kernel config is set to performance - why not just set it to
ondemand?

Title:
  Drop ondemand init script

Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ondemand init script is not inherited from Debian, it's an Ubuntu
  specific change.

  Some reasons to get rid of it:
  On my wily cloud test, systemd blame's 669ms on ondemand on a cloud instance with no ability to change frequency..
  In the init script we don't run this for android 
  Ondemand is already on by default!  Why don't we just always use whatever is that kernel's default?

  There are a number of other reported problems with it:
