Bug#485465: reboot(8) messes with Thinkpad brightness
If the previous command was reboot(8), then at the Lilo prompt, one
needs the full seven Fn Ends to restore minimal brightness.
If the previous command was shutdown -h now, then at the Lilo prompt
after next powerup, one needs only three or four Fn Ends to restore
minimal brightness.
H> I hope to have some time to hunt it down in Debconf 8.

(By the way, not related to this bug, but for careful observers: if
one observes the corners of the screen, during /etc/init.d/xdm start,
one observes some wasteful looking repeated initialization actions,
mainly what seems like momentarily losing power to the screen twice.)
