Still, libc6 is added as an explicit dependency on thunar-volman because without it, thunar-volman could never run.
>From that point of view, both options (add to thunar-volman or leave the current behavior) look reasonable. Does thunar use hal for something else than acting as a "dependency proxy" to thunar-volman ? Because if it doesn't, then the recommendation on hal should be moved to thunal-volman. -- Xr This address only accepts mails from a restricted set of BTS and ML.
