An update: In the latest package release
2016.08.2+16.10.20160823.1-0ubuntu1 I have provided a workaround for the
Nexus 4, by applying the last normal brightness value before letting
autobrightness take over when turning on the display. This is not ideal,
but it's what powerd did in the past, and fixes Nexus 4 to have a quick
reaction time.

Note that this workaround applies only to Nexus 4. Other devices use the
autobrightness setting directly when turning on the display (and
autobrightness is enabled, of course), providing a smoother display-on
experience.
