[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#903795: upower: After update, no longer shows KbdBacklight interface

[Renan Marks]

Package: upower
Version: 0.99.8-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading upower to 0.99.8 from version 0.99.7, the interface /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/KbdBacklight disapeared, 
although I still can change my keyboard backlight brightness by righting the values 0, 1 or 2 to /sys/class/leds/dell\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness.

Without the KbdBacklight interface, the KDE Plasma battery/power widget cannot show a slider to adjust the keyboard brightness from Desktop.

When using the UPower version 0.99.7 the interface was present and the KDE Plasma battery/power widget showed the slider to adjust the keyboard brightness.

Cordially,
Renan
