Bruno Beaufils, thank you for performing the requested test. As a potential WORKAROUND, could you please add each of the following kernel boot parameters individually and advise if you may adjust the backlight:
acpi_backlight=vendor
video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0

As well, if you remove the nomodeset kernel parameter, does it change
anything?

Title:
  [MacBookPro10,1] Backlight stopped working after update of linux-image
  with nvidia 313.30

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am using Ubuntu 13.04, nvidia 313.30, fresh installation from
  scratch, on a MacBookPro10,1 (the one with Retina display). Two of my
  partition are encrypted (swap and /srv on which /home is bind
  mounted).Since some upgrade to linux-image-3.8.0-24 backlight control
  does not work anymore. I am stuck with 3.8.0-23 in order to get
  something kind of working (I have to go in sleep mode at least once in
  order to get backlight control available). The last "almost working"
  kernel is 3.8.0-23. I even tried 3.9.0-030900 "upstream" kernel with
  no success. Everything was working fine with the first installation of
  13.04.
