I also assumed hal was at work. However, I noticed with some concern
today that while doing a safe-upgrade with aptitude, hal was being
removed. What I have now is:
$ dpkg -l hal*

rc hal 0.5.14-6 Hardware Abstraction Layer
un hal-cups-utils <none> (no description available)
un hal-info <none> (no description available)
So, doesn't look like hal is playing any role anymore, much to my surprise.
