Title:
  [hardy] hotkey-setup should be removed (obsoleted by hal)

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

  Package ubuntu-desktop depends on hotkey-setup. However, hotkey-setup
  should have been technically obsoleted by HAL.

  If there's anything it does that /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/
  doesn't do, the info should be migrated there. In any case, the
  dependency on it should be removed from ubuntu-desktop. This will at
  least allow us to notice if anything's missing from HAL. (Although it
  should be possible to check and migrate everything semi-
  automatically.)

  This is important because we have such an impossibly large number of
  applications that mess with keyboard settings that it's next to
  impossible to track bugs when they appear. Everything that's obsolete
  should be removed from the dependencies, allowing us to debug the new
  ones.
