I investigated a bit on this: acpi-support is for changing brightness with the nice keys some laptops have ->not needed for thinkpads, they do that in hardware brightd is for automatically changing brightness if the user is idle So I think there is a clear functional difference (I've added the word "automatically" to the long-desc...) and now my package is as ready as possible.
