Comment 62 for bug 505452

Fixing this for lucid would require backporting the entire eeepc-wmi driver to that kernel, but that driver depends on some other features not present in that kernel version so those would have to be backported as well. It's just too invasive a change for a stable kernel update, especially considering that there's a workaround available.

Note that the 'Linux (Ubuntu)' task being set to Fix Released indicates that the latest development kernel contains a fix. The status for Lucid would be tracked in a Lucid sub-task. The bug was nominated for lucid but was never accepted (and I don't have the ability to either accept or decline the nomination).
