Hi,

HAL has been deprecated and declared dead upstream so we want to
get rid of it eventually in Debian [1].

apcupsd has a Suggests: hal dependency.

Looking through the apcupsd source, this depedency imho only makes
sense, if you install the hal policy file platforms/80-apcupsd-ups-policy.fdi
and the hal addon hald-addon-hid-ups.

Both files are not installed, so I guess the Suggests: hal should simply
be dropped?

If the hal addon provides important functionality it should be replaced
by a udev callout.

Regards,
Michael
