[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] restarting hal in xserver-xorg postinst?

Hi,

when installing the new xserver-xorg, people seem to run into the
following problem: since hal isn't restarted, it doesn't pick up the
callout installed by xserver-xorg to set input.xkb.*, so if people
restart X without rebooting they end up with a us keymap.  So I'm
wondering if it'd be ok to run 'invoke-rc.d hal restart' in
xserver-xorg.postinst on upgrade (and probably initial install), or if
there's a better way to fix this?

Thanks,
Julien
