I think I can see why adding hal to dependencies would be not good. If a user has no intention of using pmount-hal, then installing it is a waste of resources. But perhaps code could be added to pmount-hal that issues a more helpful warning to a user than the message that I reported. e.g. "Install package hal for this to work." I think this would be better than putting hal in the suggests list, because when I installed pmount, I had no intention of using pmount-hal. It was only later that I took an interest in it, and didn't think to check suggests.
