Public bug reported:

For two reasons, this recommends is too strong:

1) linux-tools is a virtual, provided by many linux-tools packages, and we have 
no way of knowing which one matches the kernel you have installed.
2) It recommends linux-tools for cpupower (per the Debian recommends of 
linux-cpupower), but the code in no way references cpupower, not even 
optionally.  Recommends are meant as weak dependencies (you really want this, 
but we can work around it not being there), not strong Suggests.

Fixing this will also drop linux-tools-aws out of ubuntu-budgie-desktop,
which is a nice side-effect.
