Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

When I use the brightness control keys from a fresh install, the brightness 
jumps THREE increments. 
By creating /etc/modprobe.d/video.conf and setting
options video brightness_switch_enabled = 0
I reduce this to consistently TWO brightness events, but this is still double 
the normal events.  If I kill gnome-power-manager, it returns to single 
brightness events.

when hitting brightness up/down with gnome-power-manager, udevmonitor shows 
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

KERNEL[1267026969.897008] change   /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 
(backlight)
UDEV  [1267026969.898270] change   /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 
(backlight)
KERNEL[1267026969.903078] change   /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 
(backlight)
UDEV  [1267026969.903842] change   /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 
(backlight)
KERNEL[1267026971.355970] change   /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 
(backlight)
UDEV  [1267026971.357418] change   /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 
(backlight)

with gnome-power-manager not running, it shows no events.
