Title:
  ondemand script doesn't set ignore_nice_load

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initscripts

  I just upgraded to jaunty, and discovered that powernowd has been
  deprecated in favour of just using /etc/init.d/ondemand. That's fine,
  except that init script doesn't set ignore_nice_load, which on my
  system makes a big difference in power and heat savings (or at least
  it will again once #368809 is resolved).

  My suggestion: add an /etc/default/ondemand that has a flag for
  enabling ignore_nice_load, since there seems to be some controversy
  over whether or not it's helpful. This way, it can be loaded by
  default (which, IMO, is the correct behaviour), but can also be easily
  disabled if people would rather turn it off.
