As you know, by default, recommends are installed alongside dependencies when installing an application, and you have to manually set your package manager to disable such actions, so HAL would normally get installed if you install/upgrade xserver-xorg. I can't see why HAL has been raised to a dependency when Xorg can run without. It just seems restrictive and unnecessary. I just hope they return HAL to a recommends.
