I'm running a Debian stock kernel (3.0.0-1) and neither have that entry
under "/proc/acpi" but can control the brigthness of my netbook either
from GNOME or using the hotkeys.
Maybe this Ubuntu debug guide for backlight can give you any hints:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight
Specifically this statement:
***
The /proc/acpi/video interface
Warning /!\ This actually is deprecated and would also only be working if
the ACPI backlight driver is active. It will be described only for
completeness. The ACPI backlight driver also exposes itself through the
new sysfs interface.

Besides, review your kernel config, just in case:
grep -i -e backlight -e acpi /boot/config-3*
