With 2.6.27-10 from -proposed the keyboard control for backlight works with 7 levels of dimming up and down.
However, the brightness OSD is still not showing when using the keyboard shortcut. It is only showing briefly when I plug-unplug the power cord and g-p-m updates the brightness level automatically.
In fact -10 did not bring visible improvements, or regression, for me compared to -8.
