No, because I'm in the middle of a c. 10 day computation.

The package itself, no.  The supporting libraries are:

un  hal                               <none>
ii  libhal-storage0                   0.4.8-8
ii  libhal0                           0.4.8-8

I'm not entirely sure I ever ran alsaconf; I may have set it up by hand.
