It looks like the acpi plugin doesn't fail to load, since the machine
does have some acpi info, but interprets an empty /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/
as the machine not being on AC. Here's how this machine's /proc/acpi
tree looks:

> What kind of use-case do you have in mind for desktop usage?

Avoiding wasting power in the default desktop install.

However, Pere points out that the kernelspace governors are used by
default with cpufrequtils, so cpufreqd is probably not necessary.
