I fully agree. In Karmic we only really support devkit-power and gnome-power-manager, and trying to keep up with hal and even /proc/acpi does not make much sense. > *** modemlights *** > > This has a dependency on network-admin from gnome-system-tools which we > don't even install by default anymore, so is crippled on the default > install anyway.

To me it sounds that functionality which people need should rather be added to nm-applet. Is there a chance to split it out as a separate binary, so that it can get a dependency to g-network-admin and be dropped from the default install? If that's too much hassle, I don't mind dropping it. Karmic changed so much, I guess we need to leave some cruft along the way..
