Bug#515214: X can run perfectly well (or even better) without HAL. Please make this a Recommends: at most

[Frank Gevaerts <frank@gevaerts.be>]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.4~5
Severity: normal

I have no need for packages that have no other function than make a system harder to configure and to understand. HAL is one of those. Since X works perfectly fine without (after adding Option "AutoAddDevices" "off") I'd like to be able to uninstall hal.
