Isn't HAL being used by k3b, the CD/DVD burning program? I'm not sure about 
that but as i believe to remember that it was required to have it installed 
when building KDE4 (even it works without HAL). I can't get k3b work proper 
without HAL. It is no direct prerequisite to k3b but somewhere in the deep sea 
of KDE4.
Whenever we get KDE4 into the book (I think its time to have a deeper look to 
it as it became quite usable in the meanwhile), we will have to add KDE4-apps 
as well, one of them will be K3b, digikam and such... Then we would be forced 
to re-add HAL again.

Again, I'm not sure about what I said above, I need to verify it... Please 
ignore if its total nonsense.
