Title:
  sysvinit's ondemand and cpufrequtils init scripts conflict

Status in cpufrequtils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On ubuntu 10.04, /etc/init.d/ondemand script (from package initscripts) can conflict with /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils (package cpufrequtils)
  By default, they both set ondemand governor for every cpu(core), using an internal variable.
  If one changes this variable only in /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils to, say, "performance", at first the cpu governor will be set to performance, but then, after the "sleep 60" which is set in /etc/init.d/ondemand, /etc/init.d/ondemand will set it back to ondemand.
  I think both scripts should instead read a global variable from a global config file (eg. /etc/default/cpufreq_governor).
