The debian-eeepc scripts are intended to only handle eee-specific stuff. Tools like acpi-scripts and laptop-mode-tools were originally created before Linux gained a generic interface for backlight drivers. You could add it to the acpi scripts, but it couldn't be merged without at least adding the usual hack to check whether a desktop power management daemon is running first. HAL supports both the original panoply of /proc backlight interfaces and the newer generic interface. I believe both the GNOME and KDE "power management" applets have an option to do this, probably enabled by default. Although I do have to wonder why anyone wants to do this :-P. Personally I really like being able to have the brightness set appropriately for the ambient light, and automatic brightness changes just get in the way. After all, if you want to save battery, you want to find the lowest comfortable level, and that's often much lower than the initial value.
