Thank you for the insight.
I can confirm this: I've searched for an older kernel to try one that
predates the introduction of KMS and found
linux-image-2.6.26-2-686_2.6.26-21lenny3_i386.deb.
I've installed and booted it: xbacklight (and the gnome power manager
brightness applet) work again.
I wonder wether #561241 will solve this one, too.
