Yes, I think the dependency is there. When I installed the .deb it
complained, and apt-get -f install did the job of installing cpufrequtils.

But none of the kernel modules in my /some/path/kernel/drivers/cpufreq
directory are called cpufreq* something. They are called amd*something*.mo.
Apparently this causes some trouble for the init script in cpufrequtils
to load the module (at least for the people in the bugs - there are at
least two with similar problems since 2012). I ran out of time to try
loading one of them manually to see if I could set it to "performance"
after that.

Now I have to run to work......
