The package in trusty-proposed doesn't solve the problem as described by Daniel Serpell in comment #4. After assigning the audio raise volume button as a shortcut in unity-control-center, the dconf key is set to 'AudioRaiseVolume' rather than 'XF86AudioRaiseVolume'.

I have noticed the same problem with other keys on my Logitech Internet 350 keyboard with Tools, Mail, and HomePage. They can all be mapped with Keyboard Shortcuts, but nothing happens afterwards when the keyboard key is pressed. All these keyboard settings worked fine in older versions of Ubuntu.
