Hmm, I see that the kernel-sources itself ships a...

./tools/power/cpupower/utils/cpufreq-info.c

IIRC current 'make deb-pkg' does not build the tools, but I have seen
a patch on linux-kbuild ML.
Can I build cpufreq-info.c afterwards? Do I need a already-compiled build-dir?

Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

BTW, I have found a nice article on LWN "cpupowerutils - cpufrequtils
extended with quite some features" (see [1]).
