I have the same problem on my Dell D820. "xset dpms force off" shuts down the backlight, but it comes back on after a couple of seconds. This has been reported on the forums as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8337312#post8337312

Same bug is found here: http://superuser.com/questions/66918/suspend-screen-command-in-ubuntu-9-10-gnome

And a bug has been issued on Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=552506 .
