The one I tried was 
ii  linux-image-3.8-trunk-686-pae
3.8-1~experimental.1               i386         Linux 3.8 for modern PCs

Even while the CONFIG_STUB_POULSBO is not set, backlight brightness can
be set by with e.g. the brightness keys on the keyboard when using this
kernel, so at the moment I'm not really seeing what CONFIG_STUB_POULSBO
is good for...
