It's called gnome-device-manager, which indeed is no longer installed by default. There is, however, an eponymous package which will get it back for you. (Unlike the one that used to be in Ubuntu, it puts itself in Applications → System Tools → Device Manager.) gnome-device-manager (which I almost abbreviated as 'gdm' just then) is just a graphical frontend to HAL. You can get the exact same information, albeit in text form, with the lshal utility.
