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

[Tim Hull]

Then I figure that this is NOT, in fact, an issue of merging Ubuntu patches
OR an issue related to pommed but a bug with g-p-m recognizing MacBooks in
Debian. I've retitled the bug appropriately.  Does anyone have a clue as to
where I would look?  I'm thinking Ubuntu configures something to make this
work that Debian does not for some weird reason...
