How I handle on Debian 12 about brightness

[archisman-panigrahi]

Debian recommends that you don't add a PPA. Instead, manually download and install the .deb file from Launchpad

Update: I used this script on another instance of debian 12,
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/brightness-controller is no longer reliable because I got prompted with E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/apandada1/brightness-controller/ubuntu bookworm Release' does not have a Release file.

adding a source list file with the following content will resolve it.

# apandada1-ubuntu-brightness-controller-bookworm.list
deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/apandada1/brightness-controller/ubuntu/ jammy main
# deb-src https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/apandada1/brightness-controller/ubuntu/ bookworm main

PPAs don't work in debian unless you properly add an entry to `sources.list` (which is not recommended by Debian developers, see https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian). Consequently there is no version corresponding to bookworm. Instead of adding the ppa, download the deb package from launchpad and install it.
