So if you run into that situation, discovering that this is configurable
and changing the configuration seems equally hard (or harder). I can
understand the heuristics what was done upstream in gnome-settings-
daemon (see linked bug) to generally clam the brightness to >= 1 if
there are many steps. That will work without configuration, does not
need to be discovered, and keeps the path open for a better fix in the
future as this doesn't set/affect any user config or other permanent
state on disk. We could use that approach in unity-settings-daemon too?
