Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu  9.10 Karmic Koala, using nvidia-bl-dkms 0.15 series from the Mactel PPA, the keyboard backlight on my MacBook 5.1 will never remain completely off, by attempting to dim it all the way using the F5 keyboard dim key. It will decrease until the keyboard light turns off, and then it will turn back on within two seconds. It returns to full brightness, as confirmed by
cat /sys/class/leds/smc\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness
