Yes, we can use that approach on unity-settings-daemon, with some minor
modification to make xbacklight works.

My intention to make it configurable is because there was a Braswell
laptop with a cheap panel, which needs at least 5% max brightness to
make it barely visible. For OEM projects, to solve problems like that, a
minimum brightness setting can be a generic and convenient way to make
preloaded Ubuntu more polished.

That being said, most panel works just fine with brightness value 1 in
my experience.
