Hi,
The deb package is still not available, yet you can download the tar.gz.
Untar it somewhere, and in a terminal:
cd to the directory where the files where unpacked
run 'make' to compile it against your kernel
***
If it fails here there is a good probability that you lack
the linux-headers package, to install it run synaptic
and install the linux-headers-686 package
****
and then 'sudo make install'
the module should then be loaded by 'sudo modprobe omnibook'
If you want to load it automatically at bootime you have to
add a new line just containing 'omnibook' (without the quote)
in the /etc/modules file which you can edit it typing
'sudo gedit /etc/modules' in a terminal.

After a reboot using the gnome-power-manager applet (the icon
which display your battery state) you sould be able to set your
lcd brightness level for ac power and for battery power.
