[Pkg-freevo-maint] Bug#694023: Incorrect LSB header, Should-Start contains obsolete hal

[Michael Biebl]

Package: freevo
Version: 1.9.2b2-4
Severity: normal
User: pkg-utopia-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: halectomy

Hi,

HAL has been deprecated and declared dead upstream so we want to
get rid of it in Debian [1].

The freevo_xserver sysv init script contains in its LSB header

# Should-Start:        acpid dbus hal

Afaics freevo does not actually need or use hal so this dependency should
be dropped. Besides, hal is started via D-Bus activation on-demand nowadays
making this dependency obsolete.

Cheers,
Michael
