Package: hal Version: 0.5.7-1 Severity: minor The man page for hald seems to be out of date with respect to the binary. In particular, the --use-syslog option is not mentioned at all, and without this I'm not sure how one can figure out what hald is doing. (It seems to work fine when added to DAEMON_OPTS in /etc/default/hal.) Similarly, the --retain-privileges option is mentioned in the man page and /etc/default/hal although from the comments in bug 351935 it seems to be deprecated.
