You don't need it to do either of those things.  You need it to a) 
figure out which sensor kernel module you need to use, and b) load the 
module.  (Although you can obviously do (b) yourself.)  But again, the 
module that it reports in (a) may not come installed with the kernel, 
and so you may need to install it as a separate package - as I did with 
k10temp on my server at home.
