I'm curious as to why this worked without manual modification using the
Mactel PPA for Intrepid but not for Jaunty. What was provided in that
package that's not provided in the Jaunty package?

Bug description:
The keyboard backlight on the MacBook 5.1 is not supported as of Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) Alpha 5. This is supported in Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10) by the Mactel PPA packages hal-applesmc, hid-dkms, and possibly nvidia-bl-dkms, though I installed the nvidia-bl-dkms package for Jaunty.
