Public bug reported:

HAL has been deprecated and unmaintained for several years now [1], and
it's time to clean up the remaining usage of it, as it's only going to
bitrot and break more.

This package still depends on hal. It doesn't build depend on it, but it
seems like the code talks to Hal's D-BUS interface directly.

Are there any plans to move that to libudev? Failing that, could that
dependency at least become a Suggests: instead?

Thanks for considering,

Martin
