khotkeys no kded keybindings for brightness

[Adam-51]

Hello,

I've just tested kubuntu 9.10 on my netbook and I found brightness
keybindings are working. It's the last problem which I have under debian
on my netbook.

In kubuntu there is a "KDE component" in global keyboard shortcuts under
system settings named "KDE Daemon". It provides ability to add key
bindings for brightness control.

Can you please add it in debian kde4?

That must be distro specific feature backport from somewhere. Kubuntu do this
a lot, Debian doesn't.

But why?

We simply don't do it. Which brings lots of benefits:

1) We can be sure upstream look-a-like bugs are not triggered by our patches.
2) Users can report bugs upstream and they will probably be valid. Less time
wasted by all parties.
3) We do not become incompatible with upstream and most sane distros out
there.
4) We don't chase pure marketing hype by shipping unfinished and unreleased
software in supposedly "stable" release. That's not what our users expect.
5) That's how we do it and our practises are not likely to change any time
soon.
