Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
hal did not get a new upstream release for about half a year, so we piled up lots of patches and are missing 5 months worth of upstream fixes (who has been very active). Thus Debian and us started to package a git head snapshot.
Just today David Zeuthen (main upstream) confirmed that it is time for 0.5.11: http://
I attach the relevant part of the upstream changelog, which has ~ 100 fixes, many of them highly relevant for Ubuntu. There is only three commits which we didn't have as patch yet and which can be considered features:

linux: add drm subsystem
Add the drm (Direct Rendering Manager devices) subsystem to HAL. This
should allow to get the device file of the dri devices, which allows
to set
ACL permissions via HAL on them.
