Bug description:
  HOW TO REPRODUCE:
  1. Boot a laptop.
  2. Set a different screen (or keyboard) backlight brightness level.
  3. Reboot.

  RESULT:
  Backlight is not memorized.

  FIX:
    Install package from PPA
      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nrbrtx/sysvinit-backlight
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install sysvinit-backlight

  NOTES:
    1. If you have installed previous non-deb version, please remove it carefully manually
      sudo rm /etc/rc?.d/?25backlight /etc/init.d/brightness /etc/rc?.d/?25brightness
    2. If you have installed previous version from my PPA on Ubuntu 14.04 and higher, please reinstall the package by:
      sudo apt-get purge sysvinit-backlight
      sudo apt-get install sysvinit-backlight
    3. Version 0.1ubuntu1 supports save/restore of keyboard backlight too.
