I try to help with Ubuntu as a community volunteer.
I am not a developer with Canonical.

It is likely that newer versions of /etc/init.d/ondemand script
were never backported to the older 12.04 precise release.
Why not? Well, because, as far as I know, that release never used the
intel_pstate driver by default and so never had to fall through
to the powersave alternative.

Earlier on this thread, Srinivas correctly asked Jörg what distribution
was being used, so as to hopefully make it easier to reproduce the issue.
If we want to continue this distro specific conversation, perhaps
we should move it off-list or to some Ubuntu specific forum.
