Without knowing where to start, this is a bit hard.
You can at least try the three different versions currently available in the
archive:
squeeze 0.9.5-5
wheezy 0.9.8-2
sid 0.9.9-1

upowerd should be restarted on upgrades, but to rule out any side effects, at
least logout/login from your graphical session or simply reboot.

That said, what kind of desktop environment are you using?
If GNOME, is gnome-power-manager running? Does it have any influence on the
blinkling? Is your backlight completely turned of or more a screen blanking
(like a screensaver kicking in?)
