I assume it's not automatic because it's already installed by the debian-installer, rather than being pulled in at a later stage by some package you chose to install. On this jessie laptop, the following depend on udev: udev ['systemd', 'xserver-xorg-core', 'initramfs-tools', 'linux-wlan-ng', 'udisks', 'udisks2', 'pulseaudio', ' upower', 'libsolid4', 'fuse', 'linux-base', 'xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse', 'bluez', 'libsane'] On my wheezy server, the list is: udev ['xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse', 'fuse', 'libsane', 'udisks', 'initramfs-tools', 'linux-wlan-ng', 'bluez', 'powermgmt-base', 'xserver-xorg-core', 'alsa-base', 'linux-base', 'pulseaudio'] > And HAL is only priority optional: I removed HAL when I upgraded to wheezy as it interfered with resume. I think I recall that you said you have never not had HAL installed; something to do with streaming Channel four OD? Cheers, David.
