 hal (0.5.8.1-4ubuntu10) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/control: Add XS-Vcs-Bzr field.
   * debian/patches/64_macbook_backlight.patch: Remove all the autotools
     generated stuff, only keep the manually written bits.
   * Add debian/patches/99_autoreconf.patch: Diff of running automake 1.9.6
     and autoconf 2.59, so that the changes in 64_macbook_backlight.patch
     become active. Using 2.59 instead of 2.61 does not change shell
     interpolation rules, so that hal-device-manager will work again.

I reported the bug back in 7.04 testing, and have yet to test Gutsy. I can not give you a fix besides updating your Feisty installation (if that is what you are having issues with).
