Sorry, disregard the last patch. Forgot the -get- script :(
This one is just a replacement debian/patches/09_sony_brightness.patch .

Ordinary users who Just Want It Fixed may find it's simpler to do what
Pedro mentioned in comment 6 above and ignore everything I've said.
If you want to fix it without making bash your default shell though, try
changing
let "value = ${value} - 1"
in /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-lcd-get-brightness to
value="$(($value - 1))"
as well as doing the thing above. Hope it works out for you :)
