I have a question about the deprecated program hal. We like to stream
videos from Amazon.com but we need hal installed in order to make it work.
The Hal Debian wiki says that it is being deprecated and it is being
replaced by udev (https://wiki.debian.org/hal). Since vdev is being written
to replace udev, are there any plans to incorperate hal's functions into
vdev or keep maintaining it seperaratly?

Thanks
