 Please note it's the wrong order for version/architecture:
 dpkg-checkbuilddeps: warning: can't parse dependency libhal-dev
 [!kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386] (>= 0.5.5.1-3)

 Also, why not port hal?  The removing of the libhal-dev build-deps
 everwhere sounds like you'll end up with a non-functional software.
