Bug#515214: hal for Recommends:, not Depends:

[Artem Chuprina]

Let me also vote for demoting HAL to Recommends.

So novice users will have it automatically because by default
recommeneded packages are installed, but users whose systems suffer from
HAL (there are very many such users) will not need to install it and
search how to disable it.

Bug#515214: hal for Recommends: , not Depends:

[Sergey Korobitsin]

I support demoting hal to Recommends. The reason is that Debian was
always the most flexible solution among the binary-based distros for me,
and if we can install less packages to get nessesary functionality, we
better install less. I've read the discussion and I think that using
workaround like equivs is not good, because equivs is usually used in very
special cases. Also, adding a xserver-xorg-nohal may cause unnessesary
maintaing issues. The solution in Subject is the most painless, I think.
