I'm confused with the hal,gimp,k3b deal
Is hal supposed to be installed or not, if so, what packages should be [not]?
Code:
dpkg -l|grep -e hal -e udisk -e upower -e polkit-kde-1
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
ii hal 0.5.14-6 Hardware Abstraction Layer
ii hal-info 20091130-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi files
ii libhal-storage1 0.5.14-6 Hardware Abstraction Layer - shared library for storage devices
ii libhal1 0.5.14-6 Hardware Abstraction Layer - shared library
ii libkephal4 4:4.4.5-9 API for easier handling of multihead systems
ii libkephal4abi1 4:4.6.3-1 API for easier handling of multihead systems
ii libupower-glib1 0.9.11-1+b1 abstraction for power management - shared library
ii polkit-kde-1 0.99.0-2 KDE dialogs for PolicyKit
ii udisks 1.0.2-4 storage media interface
ii upower 0.9.11-1+b1 abstraction for power management

I would say no, HAL, is pretty much deprecated and the team we correct me if wrong 
Code:
piper@x1:~$ dpkg -l|grep -e hal -e udisk -e upower -e polkit-kde-1
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
ii libkephal4abi1 4:4.6.3-1 API for easier handling of multihead systems
ii libupower-glib1 0.9.11-1+b1 abstraction for power management - shared library
ii udisks 1.0.2-4 storage media interface
ii upower 0.9.11-1+b1 abstraction for power management
I still have to install polkit (brand new install) |

If that's a new install then it seems I'd have to run:
Code:
aptr --purge -s hal hal-info libhal-storage1 libhal1 libkephal4 -s
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
hal* hal-info* hwinfo* libhal-storage1* libhal1* libhd16* libk3b3* libk3b3-extracodecs* libkephal4* libtaskmanager4a*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 10 to remove and 19 not upgraded.
Purg hal [0.5.14-6]
Purg hal-info [20091130-1]
Purg hwinfo [16.0-2]
Purg libhal-storage1 [0.5.14-6]
Purg libk3b3-extracodecs [1.0.5-3+b1]
Purg libk3b3 [1.0.5-3+b1]
Purg libhd16 [16.0-2]
Purg libhal1 [0.5.14-6]
Purg libtaskmanager4a [4:4.4.5-9]
Purg libkephal4 [4:4.4.5-9]

If your running plasma-widget-daisy you will lose it by purging libtaskmanager4a. (dep)
You will also lose kde4-windeco-nitrogen because of libtaskmanager4a
I miss daisy  |

| Install libtaskmanager4abi1 and or libtaskmanager4b instead of libtaskmanager4a. No need to give up daisy. |

Plasma-widget-daisy was spitting out dependency errors that it needed libtaskmanager4a at the time and wouldn't install
Ended up making my own deb  |
