Don't know about documentation, but:
mika at lt-mf:~$ dpkg -S /usr/sbin/thinkpad-keys
hotkey-setup: /usr/sbin/thinkpad-keys

So you can get the source code by issuing: apt-get source hotkey-setup

But please note that what you want already exists. Take a look at acpid
and acpi_fakekey. It is included in the acpi-support package. You may
also want to take a look at the scripts in /etc/acpi/ to see how it's used.
