Would it make sense to demote the dependency on the hal daemon to a Recommends (after all, the hal "client" library should deal with the daemon not running anyway)?
gnome-mount depends on hal as it doesn't work at all without hal.
Well, gnome-mount should never be installed on an autobuilder IMO.
libnautilus-burn should depend on gnome-mount as it can't do some stuff if gnome-mount is not available. If this is a recommends only, people that don't install recommends have a unusable library lying around.
That sounds like "recommends", TBH. The fact that apt used to not install Recommends by default has led to way too stringent relationships; I don't see a problem with packages that are largely unusable without a recommended package as long as they handle the situation gracefully.
