Bug#434711: Sync with Ubuntu changes - adds brightness control, etc...

[Tim Hull]

I have acpi-support, and I have the other significant power-management stuff
installed here.  In fact, I can suspend-to-RAM with no problem using g-p-m
and stock configuration, and I can change the brightness using pommed (I'm
on a MacBook).  Does anyone have a clue as to WHY I'm not seeing brightness
control support as I do on Ubuntu with the same version of g-p-m?

I am running Debian unstable currently, so I do have the latest versions of
everything...
