That's exactly what I was complaining about: the packages aren't there
yet.

Because of this and other issues, I have now moved to Debian wheezy 
where the keys are working which I suppose is due to a couple of 
existing modules: asus_wmi and asus_nb_wmi, as far as I could 
investigate. And they say that Debian is always older and outdated...

These modules exist because the Debian wheezy kernel 2.6.39-2-686 is 
compiled with CONFIG_ASUS_WMI=m and CONFIG_ASUS_NB_WMI=m, which Ubuntu 
natty hasn't, but I think oneiric has. That's why I was asking for the 
backporting.
