as the error suggests, the unterminated string is in
/etc/default/cpufrequtils rather than in the init script.
/etc/init.d/cpufrequtils sources the defaults file, so that too has to be
correctly parseable by /bin/sh.
if [ -f /etc/default/cpufrequtils ] ; then
. /etc/default/cpufrequtils
fi
/etc/default/cpufrequtils is not a file managed by the package.
Sebastian,
Let me know if you need help writing the defaults file.
I'm closing this bug report.
