for what it's worth, I think alex's use case is going to be confusing to users and personally I do not care if I am on AC or battery, I will adjust the brightness to the level I want and expect it to stay there. users can still adjust the brightness with either keyboard shortcuts (e.g. on a laptop with brightness keys), or with the brightness panel applet, so your essential feature is taken care of, surely? I would like to see g-p-m remember the level I set (ie behave like OS X brightness), but I do not think that it possible to change in hardy at this point of the cycle - there is no code to do it and release is in 2.5 weeks. Either way it's not my decision to keep the current behaviour or revert to Gutsy brokenness, I'm just updating the bug status based on my understanding of the situation. Since I am not the package maintainer, my change is not authoritative.
