Yes, I think the the Intrepid driver still needs to depend on usbhid-
dkms unless they are planning to backport the new module to Intrepid
(which I doubt).
Can you go ahead and update the hal-applesmc package? It is still
needed to get the keyboard backlight adjustment working.

So the dependancy has been removed for the package bcm5974, but is
this still required for other series such as Intrepid? If this is
the case we still need to depend on usbhid for Intrepid?
I really should stick the new packages I created in the PPA!

After much testing, the conclusion is that there no longer is any
point
for bcm5974 to depend on usbhid or any other external dkms package.
Here
is an excerpt from the git log of the just uploaded version:
commit 9ef004eb41fe5e2b087d61b00e3963fad97e6332

Removed dependency on usbhid
In 2.6.28, the only additional configuration needed is for the new
macbooks using the wellspring3 device. The configuration is
already
upstream, in a stalled commit ac26fca3 which is in hid-core, not
usbhid. Since jaunty comes with hid built in, there is no need or
possibility to use dkms for the configuration, but one must resort
to other methods.

The "other method" could possibly be to specify a hid quirk
on the boot line somehow, or to use some dynamic parameter scheme.
Cheers,
Henrik
