thanks

I agree with Sjoerd. It's definitely not an RC bug.
If you want to control the starting of hal via policy-rc.d, you have to
do that indirectly via the dbus init script.
We are basically bound by the limitations of our current init system.
As hal depends on dbus, it has to be restarted/stopped when dbus is
restarted/stopped. That's why we came up with the solution we have now.
Having the hal start script installed as init script in /etc/init.d/
would cause more problems than it would solve.
