oh well... that parameter is not considered yet... sorry for being that
lazy, I'm still wondering when I'll be able to release a new version of
cpufreqd with all that changes

current cpufreqd looks at the content of /proc/<PID>/cmd and matches
against that.
Increasing the verbosity of cpufreqd (-V7) can also help finding out if
cpufreqd is matching the configured command string against the cmd
content.

Really, be patient, newer cpufreqd is almost there... (How many times
will I say it before releasing actually? :))
