Confirming the issue for gnome-power-manager: it sets brightness level to 100 
as soon as it starts.
There is still something else that does the same while ubuntu is loading but 
still I don't know which package.

pi...@tux:~$ killall gnome-power-manager
pi...@tux:~$ cat /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness 
levels:  20 28 36 44 52 60 68 76 84 93 100
current: 20
pi...@tux:~$ gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon --immediate-exit > 
gpm.log 
pi...@tux:~$ cat /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness 
levels:  20 28 36 44 52 60 68 76 84 93 100
current: 100

  After upgrading to Jaunty brightness settings are not remembered anymore when 
rebooting or when disconnecting power cable.
  During boot process brigthness changes multiple times:
  - at BIOS screen brightness gets correctly restored to last used one
  - when ubuntu starts loading brightness is increased (to maximum level?)
  - when gnome-power-manager starts it is set to maximum no matter what level 
it was set last time and doesn't even care if the laptop is on battery or on 
power cable.
