Hi Christopher,
in the last couple of days I tried the kernels I didn't try before and now I can tell for sure that the fix arrived with the v3.16rc1 kernel. I also had a look at the bisect documentation and tried to move my first steps. 

In the meantime Aaron Lu, the guy that was looking after the upstream bug-report, has answered my questions http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=140409199022683&w=2 about a possible bug-fix for the previous kernels (especially the 13.3). He replied:
"No chance for v3.13 as it lacks other supporting bits, sorry."

I've no skills to tell what it's better to do, but after Aaron's words
I'm a bit afraid there will be a lot of work and still too many
difficulties for the ubuntu-linux 3.13 bug-fix.

Title:
  [Fujitsu Lifebook A512] Brightness hot keys Fn+F6/Fn+F7 don't work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Pressing Fn+F6 or Fn+F7 the brightness doesn't change.

  Upstream URL: http://marc.info/?l=linux-
  acpi&m=140178030214298&w=2

  WORKAROUND: Execute at a terminal:
  for i in /sys/class/backlight/*; do echo $i;cat $i/brightness;cat $i/max_brightness;done

  shows this output:
  /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
  1
  100
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight
  4882
  4882

  Create /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf to set the "intel_backlight" interface, which will make the brightness shortcuts Fn+F6 and Fn+F7 work:
  Section "Device"
          Identifier "card0"
          Driver "intel"
          Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
          BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
