I thought the semantics of Should-Start were "this does not require hal,
but if you're going to start hal anyway, you should do that first",
like systemd's "After=hal"?

What harm is done by having this Should-Start? Is it just "the boot is
a bit less parallel than it could be"?

Given that this package is by the pkg-fso team, I assume the reasoning for
hal and bluetooth might involve Bluetooth keyboard detection?
