I've revised this further in Intrepid. There were some problems with the original fix, and it turns out that the driver defaults are actually not good enough for us.

We now take a more conservative approach, and use the driver defaults except for enabling the few things we seem to need.

hotkey-setup (0.1-23ubuntu6) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Revert 0.1-23ubuntu4 and use a different method to set the hotkey mask:

    + Add hotkey mask definitions to ibm.hk
    + Use the sysfs interface rather than the old procfs interface
    + Unconditionally try to enable the bits for volume and brightness
    + Restore the test for the thinkpad key, and start the daemon if
      setting the corresponding bit doesn't work
    + For everything else, just accept the driver defaults

  * Thanks to Matthew Garrett for background on the old code and the
    thinkpad_acpi driver

  * This should address LP: #222796 without reopening LP: #256887
