- HAL is deprecated / in maintenance mode

- DeviceKit is a set of projects to replace HAL
  http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DeviceKit
  The daemon is libudev and the userspace tools where renamed to udisks:

Today, the updates for Ubuntu 10.04 replaced devicekit-disks-doc with
udisks-doc.
