Looks like the patch has recently been applied to the Intrepid kernel. A kernel which contains this patch will eventually be uploaded to intrepid-proposed for people to test. We'll try to update you when it's available. Thanks.

    Input: atkbd - expand Latitude's force release quirk to other Dells

    Bug: #284066

    Dell laptops fail to send key up events for several of their special
    keys. There's an existing quirk in the kernel to handle this, but it's
    limited to the Latitude range. This patch extends it to cover all
    portable Dells.
