Oh, please, not another setuid root application if we can avoid it. Which file
does cpufreq-selector need access to to change the CPU speed? And why should a
normal user be able to change the CPU speed in the first place? The automatic
CPU speed works well enough for the majority of users, and control freaks can
always use sudo to manually set the speed, or deliberately shoot themselves in
the foot by making the binary suid root (as explained in README.Debian).

>From my POV the current situation is fine.
