Bug description:
  HOW TO REPRODUCE:
    1. Boot a laptop.
    2. Set a different screen (or keyboard) backlight brightness level.
    3. Reboot.

  RESULT:
    Backlight is not memorized.

  FIX:
    A. For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS install my package from PPA
      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nrbrtx/sysvinit-backlight
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install sysvinit-backlight

      NOTES:
      1. If you have installed previous non-deb version, please remove it carefully manually
        sudo rm /etc/rc?.d/?25backlight /etc/init.d/brightness /etc/rc?.d/?25brightness
      2. If you have installed previous version from my PPA on Ubuntu 14.04, please reinstall the package by:
        sudo apt-get purge sysvinit-backlight
        sudo apt-get install sysvinit-backlight
      3. Version 0.1ubuntu1 supports save/restore of keyboard backlight too.

    B. Ubuntu 14.10 is near EOL (really in July 2015), so users should upgrade it to Ubuntu 15.04 (see C below).
       My script seems to be incompatible with this Ubuntu version - remove it with
        sudo apt-get purge sysvinit-backlight
        sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:nrbrtx/sysvinit-backlight

    C. Ubuntu 15.04 has systemd-backlight@.service. It saves and restores screen and keyboard backlight levels.
       My script is incompatible with this Ubuntu version.
