Package: powertop
Version: 2.8-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am filing this as Severity: normal since I do not know whether this
issue affects powertop functionality. Please feel free to downgrad the
severity if it's a purely cosmetic issue, which I suspect.

In Debian, CPU_FREQ_STAT is set to y in the kernel config, so the driver
is built into the kernel. Yet, powertop tries to unconditionally
modprobe cpufreq_stat and complains when this fails. At least, the
complaint needs to be silenced.

Greetings
Marc
