  Description     : Minimal Linux distro CLI & UI for TUXEDO / Clevo computers Keyboard Backlight

Tuxedo Backlight Control is a utility that automates toggling keyboard backlight state for TUXEDO / Clevo (and rebranded laptops like Sager's, or System76) computers on Linux.
It provides both a UI widget and a command-line interface (backlight <command> [options]).
The utility requires the kernel module tuxedo-keyboard (https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard) to be installed first.
It can toggle the keyboard backlight off, set any of 7 backlight animation modes (breathe, cycle, dance, flash, random, tempo, wave) and set a single or multiple colors in Color (custom) mode.
Available colors are the 16 original 'web-safe' colors (see https://www.cssportal.com/html-colors/orig-16-colors.php). Additional colors can be specified by the user.

I develop this widget independently on Github and since it has gained some traction I would like to provide it directly through the Debian repository.
The Debian binary package is generated with fpm (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm) but I am open to improvements, and/or help setting up a full Debian package with source packages included.
Need to specify that the only computer models on which the functionality is known to work, are the Clevo N150-ZU / N151-ZU. Given positive feedback by users I intend to publish a v1 soon.
