This bug was fixed in the package hotkey-setup - 0.1-23ubuntu10

---------------
hotkey-setup (0.1-23ubuntu10) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Drop the override of the hotkey mask for ThinkPads. This is currently
    used for brightness keys, volume keys, and the ThinkVantage button:
    - the ThinkVantage button is part of the default mask now
    - brightness events are exposed via a different ACPI input device now,
      so don't need to be overridden
    - overriding the volume keys causes double-stepping of the volume,
      because the volume was also being adjusted in the hardware mixer, which
      we can't disable - so we don't want these keys exposed for now.
    LP: #355300.
  * Also drop the thinkpad-keys daemon; a look at the thinkpad-acpi
    source indicates that this will never trigger at present, because
    the hotkey mask from the kernel always includes the
    ThinkVantage/IBMAccess key if the module loads at all, so this is
    dead code and no one is reporting any issues.
  * This leaves only setting of /proc/acpi/video/*/DOS as a function of this
    package. This should be moved to be a kernel default, at which point
    we can drop this package.
