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.
