Enable the Extras-Testing repository; it's in there.

Afaik, there's a function in the LED Patterns applet that allows you to revert to the original patterns; it might be the Extras-Devel version though.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel

A note about extras-testing and extras-devel: Refrain from updating or installing applications from there unless you have a clear goal (i.e. don't go on a shopping spree), because as the names imply, applications in those repositories are still in testing or development phase.

Edit:

The front LED (the one for notifications) is supposed to light up red when the front camera is being used, according to the LED patterns in mce.ini, but yeah, still out of context.

Edit 2: It's a very bad idea to download a .deb from the package listing and install it manually. That's only there as a (close to) last resort or for testing/development purposes.
