Is there any valid reason to add an idiotic script to /etc/init.d by an default Debian install that only cause a PITA?

Thank you :)

On Debian it's

$ cat /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils
#!/bin/sh
[snip]
GOVERNOR="ondemand"
[snip]

anyway, this is idiocy, hence the default can be set by the kernel. For
the kernel-generic-default-office-non-real-time a distro could chose
'ondemand'. This script is nonsense and only cause that once a month
somebody send a request regarding to xruns when using jackd.

Ralf
