Jean-Christophe Baptiste, I see why you want things to be synchronized,
but consider the following situation:

The configured AC brightness level is 100%.

The configuration option to reduce the brightness level on battery is
selected, so the default brightness on battery is 100% multiplied by
some scale factor, say 30%.

The user is working on battery power, so the brightness is 30% as usual,
and then the user wants to increase the brightness for some reason, so
they hit the special brighten key on the keyboard.

What should happen? It probably doesn't make sense for the AC brightness
level to increase above 100%, so that means either the "reduce
brightness on battery" setting has to change, or nothing happens.
Neither one seems like the Right Thing to do in my opinion.

So, if we want everything to be synchronized, the brightness * scale
factor model isn't going to work, and we need to do something different
like have a separate configured battery level (which would mean a slider
in that part of gnome-power-preferences rather than a checkbox).
