  Description     : Lightweight monitor backlight control utility

 Really lightweight (<100 SLOC) monitor backlight control utility written in C
 that directly writes to the /sys/ filesystem.  The config file is read from
 /etc/backlightctl.conf. It must contain exactly 2 lines. The first one points
 to the file controlling the brightness. The second line points to the file
 containing the maximal brightness.

Upstream ships no formal release yet; it's been sitting in a github git repo
since 2012.  There's a cmake buildsystem supplied.  No upstream manpage yet.

I like it since it's pretty small and does _just_ what's needed; nothing more.

But maybe it's usefulness is debatable since we're shipping the more actively
maintained brightnessctl since at least buster/oldstable...
