Of course it should (and it does, look into debian/control, there is a
build dependency on libcpufreq-dev).
The problem is the following:
Previous versions of libsysfs installed the libsysfs.la into
/lib/libsyfs.la.
When libcpufreq0 was compiled, libtool recorded a dependency on
/lib/libsysfs.la in /usr/lib/libcpufreq.la.
Later the maintainer of libsysfs decided to move the la file to
/usr/lib/, whereas /usr/lib/libcpufreq.la still thinks it is in /lib.
That's why libcpufreq0 (cpufrequtils) has to be rebuilt.
The best is, to file a bug report against cpufrequtils.

Cheers,
Michael
