@Andy Whitcroft, the -11 kernel broke brightness settings on my t61 as well, I reported it in bug 314119. I am running all of proposed but don't use the gnome-applet; setting it through gnome-power-manager did not work but does work with the -10.20 kernel. Manually echoing values into /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD0/brightness also doesn't work, which didn't work in -10.20 either, but echoing values in /proc/acpi/video/VID1/LCD0/brightness (note VID1 vs VID) did work in -10.20 to change the screen's brightness, but the /proc/acpi/video/VID1/ path does not exist when the -11.22 kernel is rebooted,
