HAL removal is already in progress, see [1]. Actually I've been working on that
for some time already. I wouldn't object obviously making that a release goal.

It seems certainly doable in time for wheezy. The only real blocker I currently
see, is our kfreebsd ports, which still rely on hal e.g. in GVFS, which is a
central part of the GNOME stack.
