It will not act if there is no binding information. Do you have more
files in this folder?

grep -r . * in /sys/class/thermal will be helpful.

Probably they are showing package and core temperature or have a
different sampling interval.

Try enabling thermald service in Debian. it has access to more knobs to
control thermals.
