Okay, I figured I forgot to reserve an EFI partition, what might have
caused the behaviour. I don't know that much about technical stuff but
it seems plausible to me, that if the running Ubuntu on a mac usually
requires an EFI partition and there is none provided that can lead to
all sorts of errors especially in hardware control. I reinstalled Ubuntu
with a proper EFI partition and now everything is working smoothly. I
guess the bug would be invalid then am I right? I am new to Launchpad so
I am not quite sure, what I am supposed to do.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hardware:
  Macbook-4.1 2008

  expected:
  After performing a suspend and resuming the screen back light is turned back on.
