Package: synce-hal
Version: 0.15-1
Severity: important

The package synce-hal installs a script /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-synce-serial
to communicate with pre-WM5 devices.

This script is written in python and uses dbus bindings. If the package
"python-dbus" is not installed, this script will silently fail and render the
synce-tools (synce-pls, synce-pcp) unusable with messages like these:

** Message: Device
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_3340_3326_noserial_if0_serial_usb_0 not
fully set in Hal, skipping
** Message: Odccm is not running, ignoring
synce-pls: Could not find configuration at path '(Default)'

Installing "python-dbus" fixes the problem and should thus be a requirement for
the package synce-hal.
