That's quite odd. Has Hal been updated recently? I definitely did not have consolekit installed when I first filed this bug, and Hal had been working fine. Has consolekit only been added as a dependency in the testing repositories in the past week or so? I note that libhal is already a dependency for thunar-volman. My question as a user is: Is hal required for thunar-volman to automount drives? If yes, I would vote for adding it as a dependency. If hal is not required but does add extra features, or is one of several ways that thunar-volman may enable automounting, I would vote for adding it as a recommendation. I have in the past sworn at debian developers who did not add a recommendation, forcing me to sift through google to discover where my missing functionality was. As a courtesy to non-developer users, I request erring on the side of listing a recommendation, but NOT a dependency, which can lead to bloat.
