Regarding keyboard backlight... I would normally say hawaii does have a point that daemons should be unipurposed, but on a memory/CPU/battery restricted device like the n900, it would make sense to maximize the functionality of each individual system (to avoid excess polling, for example).
So, yes - I'll add support for keyboard light control. hawaii, don't worry; I'll ensure it takes 0% CPU if disabled.
Possibly also battery conservation mode: if enabled, would dim the backlights more (and sooner) when battery is low. It would mesh well with another project I'm considering.. an app to track battery usage by component (processes, LCD, various radios, etc) similar to what Android users have.

Are you considering to integrate this with the CSSU?

Having read the thread I am a wee bit confused - once installed this daemon does not contest control with the standard services?

This daemon follows the Unix philosophy - write programs that do one thing and do it well.
