SUMMARY
Feature request: Currently Neon cannot take advantage of the brightness control of external monitors the Brightness and Color applet provides. I noticed it doesn't ship ddcutil by default. I'm unsure if the simple addition of that package is enough to provide that functionality, but maybe it's something worth looking at.

I guess we should also add this to https://community.kde.org/Distributions/Packaging_Recommendations?

hi.  neon has been shipping powerdevil compiled against libddcutil for quite a while.  we don't ship the ddcutil binary by default as it not required, the lib suffices.  unfortunately ddcutil brightness control is somewhat of a hidden feature as laptop internal screens always grab the brightness control interface first and as of yet powerdevil does not support brightness controls for multiple screens.  there are a several MR 's relating to this under review at the moment
