Probably yes, but I'd like to see it before I decide.

Does this have to make it into etch?

How come it never outputs p4_clockmod? I use that happily on several
different machines.

In most workloads, p4_clockmod will have a negligable effect on power
consumption and has a sufficiently high latency that it creates a
noticable reduction in interactive performance. When I worked on that
script originally, I decided that anyone who wanted that could just add
p4_clockmod to /etc/modules.

It's disabled in Ubuntu with the following comment:

# Disabled for now - the latency tends to be bad enough to make it
# fairly pointless.
# echo "FREQDRIVER=p4-clockmod" >/etc/default/powernowd
# to override this

Maybe they're wrong?

Yes, p4-clockmod is mostly useless for power saving but it helps
reducing the processor temperature. And this is the only driver working
for my p4 desktop.
