There is currently a updated panasonic driver that is about to be accepted for inclusion in the kernel tree which is based upon the lately ill maintained pcc-acpi. This driver uses the same core code but exposes backlight and input interfaces allowing it to interface better with hal and gnome-power-manager.
I'm currently using this driver on Hardy but perhaps some could try it on intrepid and see whether it's a better candidate for inclusion. Since it now utilises backlight and input interfaces the panasonic specific event descriptors and scripts should be removed from acpi-support to prevent acpi events being processed twice.
