Problem Description
===========================
cpupower suggests installation of non-existent linux-cloud-tools-generic package
Problem occurs on an IBM POWER 16.04 LTS system. Unknown whether it
occurs on other architectures or later releases.
When run _without package "linux-tools-$(uname -r)" installed_, cpupower
will issue a complaint, suggesting to install (among others), some
linux-cloud-tools-*-generic packages:
$ cpupower
WARNING: cpupower not found for kernel 4.4.0-75
You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel:
linux-tools-4.4.0-75-generic
linux-cloud-tools-4.4.0-75-generic
You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date:
linux-tools-generic
linux-cloud-tools-generic
However, those linux-cloud-tools-*-generic package appear not to exist--
at least not in the default repos.
Package linux-cloud-tools-common exists, but none of the *-generic
packages are available:
$ apt-cache policy "linux-cloud-*"
$ cat xxx
linux-cloud-tools-common:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 4.4.0-78.99

The cpupower command works (at least doesn't give this complaint) if the
appropriate linux-tools-$(uname -r) (perhaps via linux-tools-generic) is
installed, so the cloud package is maybe not needed (as least for some
functionality).
I think the fix is to either:
a) supply the cloud packages for POWER, or
b) remove the non-existent packages from cpupower's complaint message.
---uname output---
Linux fs3 4.4.0-75-generic #96-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 20 09:55:30 UTC 2017 ppc64le

Machine Type = Firestone
---Steps to Reproduce---
Install linux-tools-common but NOT linux-tools-*-generic on a POWER 16.04 LTS
system, then run cpupower.
