Bug Description

wmbattery can use HAL, APM, ACPI, or even the SPIC that is in some Sony laptops.

actually wmbattery "depend" on hal; which now should not be : "HAL is in maintenance mode - no new features are added. All future development focuses on udisks, upower and other parts of the stack. See Software/DeviceKit for more information."
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal/

some other packages still have hal either as "suggest" or "recommend" or "depend":
- laptop-mode-tools : suggest
- dvdrip : suggest
- moovida-plugins-good : depend
- dff : recommend
- dell-recovery : multi choice (udisk/hal)
- landscape-client: suggest

Then when these packages will be not related to hal, hal should be removed from the archive. (Martin Pitt : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/1182801 )

Both Moovida & Elisa are still into the archives, but dont get any maintenance since ages. In fact Moovida is (was) the new Elisa. Now they are both abandoned and should be purged from the archives.

The latest free moovida 1.09 does not get any maintenance since a while. Now moovidadb.com is supporting Linux and support can be found at : http://www.fluendo.com/faq/
