Right now, installing hal will result in hald-addon-storage polling
removable devices from boot - even if nothing's paying attention. This
is a surprisingly large power consumption hit on modern systems. udisks
starts the polling on-demand, which is preferable, but some legacy
applications still require hal.
I've just split hald-addon-storage out into its own package in rawhide.
If you need the hald-addon-storage functionality (ie, you rely on hal
for media change events) then please add an explicit depends on
hal-storage-addon.
