hal 0.5.6-4ubuntu3 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

hal (0.5.6-4ubuntu3) dapper; urgency=low

  * debian/run-hald.sh: Specify absolute paths in HALD_RUNNER_PATH to make
    the runner find the callouts in the source tree.
  * debian/patches/08_privileges-addons.patch: Completely rework patch.
    - hald/linux2/probing/shared.h: Factor out drop_privileges() into this
      header file and add 'keep_auxgroups' parameter.
    - hald/linux2/addons/addon-storage.c: Drop privileges with keeping
      auxiliary groups right at the start; since the helper repeatedly opens
      the device file for good reasons, we cannot keep an opened fd around.
    - hald/linux2/addons/addon-acpi.c:
      + If /proc ACPI interface is disabled, drop privileges right away (since
        everybody can read from acpid).
      + Otherwise, drop privileges right after opening the kernel's ACPI
        interface. Move this part out of the reconnect loop since after
        dropping privs we cannot reconnect (and the kernel interface shouldn't
        disappear anyway).
    - hald/linux2/addons/addon-pmu.c: Drop all privileges after opening
      /dev/adb.
  * debian/patches/07_add-keyboard-addons.patch: Remove drop_privileges()
    since it's already in shared.h.
  * debian/hal.init.dbus: Remove the extra pid check/kill, start-stop-daemon
    should be sufficient to stop hal nowadays.
  * Revert changes from previous upload; discussion revealed that hal should
    deliberately ignore settings in /etc/default/acpi-support, so we don't
    need the PMI querying.
