  * debian/postinst: Drop chown'ing of /var/run/hal/, it does not exist on
    fresh installations yet. Unconditionally chown the directory in the init
    script instead. (LP: #175525)

This bug was fixed in the package hal - 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu5

---------------
hal (0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu5) hardy; urgency=low

  * 01_default_suspend_quirks.patch: Apply the same logic to the
    suspend-hybrid and hibernate script.
  * debian/hal.postinst: Fix /var/run/hal -> /var/run/hald as well and drop
    the chown'ing completely, since the init script does it already.
    (LP: #175525)
  * debian/hal.postinst: Fix upgrade version comparison to also force-reload
    dbus when installing from scratch. (LP: #206787)
