Hi guys, I'm the OP.

This is in Debian:

kaye@laptop:~$ ls -R /etc/sudoers.d
/etc/sudoers.d:
10-installer  README

kaye@laptop:~$ cat /etc/sudoers
cat: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied

kaye@laptop:~$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/backlight-brightness
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root kaye 19490 Nov 15  2017 /usr/local/bin/backlight-brightness

This is in antiX distro:

$ ls -R /etc/sudoers.d
/etc/sudoers.d:
antixers  README

 $ cat /etc/sudoers

cat: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/backlight-brightness
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19490 Nov 15  2017 /usr/local/bin/backlight-brightness

I don't understand why adding the line:

kaye ALL= /usr/local/bin/backlight-brightness

in 

/etc/sudoers.d/10-installer

of my Debian system does not work.
