Ubuntu should not wait for upstream. Try out the patch.

It solves the brightness-notification issue.

1. Apply attached patch to hald
2. echo "options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xfdffff" > /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf
3. Restart hal, reload thinkpad_acpi module

=> brightness notification works on Thinkpads, thus partly solving bug #357673.
