We didn't. Since pitivi Depends: hal, hal will be, and is, installed
by default. Starting pitivi causes hal to start, too (works fine
here).

I don't understand -- pitivi didn't change anything wrt. hal recently,
we just changed hal to start on demand (via D-Bus activation) instead
of unconditionally at boot. What causes grief now?

https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop or
#ubuntu-desktop would be appropriate IMHO.
