[Bug 1104171] [NEW] Package flashplugin-installer should depend on "hal" so it can run DRMed content

[Aldo Nogueira]

Public bug reported:

- I rented a movie from Google Play and couln't play it on my Ubuntu machine.
- I talked to Google's support and they answered me with this link:

- The fix was to install the package "hal" and delete some files under ~/.adobe
- Shouldn't "hal" be a dependency or at least a suggestion?

Note that the trailer was already working before the fix. Trailers don't
have DRM, I think.
