[Bug 1215411] Re: libcpupower.so is not installed from linux-tools

During my +1 maintenance I looked at both gkrellm2-cpufreq and cpufreqd
(ppc64el arch only) both of which are depwait in groovy because Ubuntu
does not have a libcpupower-dev package. If Ubuntu isn't going to
provide the libcpupower-dev package we should blacklist packages which
depend on it so people doing +1 maintenance don't keep spending time on
it.

Title:
libcpupower.so is not installed from linux-tools

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in linux source package in Zesty:
Invalid
Status in linux source package in Eoan:
In Progress

Bug description:
The patch for bug 1158668 installs cpupower_$(abi_version) command-
line tool as well as libcpupower.so.$(abi_version).

This isn't particularly suitable for projects that previously used
libcpufreq and intend to migrate to libcpupower, because the
libcpupower.so symlink is no longer installed. The command-line tools
can also have symlinks (e.g. cpupower -> cpupower_$(abi_version)).
