It is included in the kernel source as of linux-3.1 [2], located at tools/power/cpupower/. I don't think that it is explicitly tied to a particular kernel version, so it may be best built separately from the kernel packages. There is no consensus among other distributions: Fedora includes it in their kernel-tools package; SuSE and RHEL pull from the git repo and build as a separate cpupower or cpupowerutils package (similar to how cpufrequtils was done); Arch takes it from the kernel source and builds it along with other tools into separate packages. cpupower provides a number of things that cpufrequtils does not, and is invaluable in a server environment for tuning of power management. Of particular note is the ability to set perf_bias on Intel processors; I am not aware of another tool that can do this. It is also the focus of power utility development, and should be available on Ubuntu systems.
