This is "by design": there isn't a KEY_BRIGHTNESSUNCHANGED. I could have it
send KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN if already at minimum or KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP if already
at maximum, I suppose, but I don't really see much point.

(The BIOS reports 0x20+brightness, as can be seen if you run acpi_listen and
alter the brightness. This is easier in that the brightness doesn't then have
to be read for reporting purposes...)

It should be reasonably easy to tweak this to avoid this reporting of no
change (compare amixer before and after)...

Fine; I'll leave both alone for now, but I'm listening should somebody try to
convince me one way or the other...
