i was curious when i noticed that "libhal1" on this etch system is
listed as an orphan.
coming from a fedora universe, i always thought of the HAL layer as
fairly fundamental, but i guess i've stripped this server down far
enough that even the HAL library isn't being used anymore.
Possibly libhal1 was replaced by a differently named version. This
happens occasionally, although usually apt/aptitude/Synaptic handles it
properly.
Or possibly not; my system has libhal1, and it is shown to be available
in Stable, Testing, and Unstable versions (Lenny, Squeeze, and Sid). A
whole slew of things depends on it, such as several parts of X, so you
must be correct, and your system is pretty minimal.
