[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#710195: Uses deprecated HAL on non-Linux

Version: 0.9.12-11
Severity: serious

Hi,

HAL has been deprecated and dead upstream for many years now so I'm
going to request its removal from Debian [1].

Your package builds with HAL support on non-Linux plattforms.

Please disable HAL support on those plattforms and if applicable, port
it to native interfaces provided on those architectures.


Regards,
Michael
