Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.111
Severity: wishlist
Usertags: obsolete
Three packages install files in /usr/share/hal/ but this directory is
no longer looked at by any package in Debian since hal was removed in
2014 because it was replaced by udev. I will file bugs on the three
affected packages but it would be good for lintian to warn about use of
/usr/share/hal/ so that no new or updated packages add files there.
