Include fixes in *buntu

Hello, dear developers of Ubuntu! I want to ask something, that I think is
relevant to the Ubuntu:
I have a small samsung netbook that requires a custom kernel module to be
installed from a ppa (https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa) so that *fn
* keys work for backlight brightness adjustment. My question is: can this
kernel module and script be installed in the main kernel, so that this
annoyance can be avoided? From what I read this is an issue that has
plagued samsung laptop owners for several years now. The installed *
samsung-tools* and *samsung-backlight*  fixes this issue.
I am willing to help if I can, I just want to have a truly out-of-the-box
experience with Gnu/Linux. This problem is present in all distros (that's
what I read from the Internet, I have only tried it on *buntu).
Thank you in advance.
