Package: hal
Version: 0.2.95-4
Severity: important

The bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=262678 still is not 
fixed.


It is obvious that hal is a non-cooperative application that interrupts
CD/DVD-writing.

As an intermediate solution, I recommend to kill hald.

The long term solution is to fix hald to become a cooperative application.
Here is an example for a cooperative application that the hald people don't 
know how to do things without interrupting other applications:

http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/volmgt/

It is definitely not a solution introduce bugs into libscg in order
to hide 90% of the problems caused by this hald bug.
