I would be happy to maintain a tiny service called
DeviceKit-backlight, and remove all the backlight stuff from
DeviceKit-power if that's a compromise people are willing to accept.

We can then remove only install DeviceKit-backlight on embedded
systems (without X) and also only start it on desktops if we don't
have working xbacklight.

How's that for a compromise?
