Since the recent hal upgrade and the change to d-bus activation, hald
is not starting on bootup on at least three of my Debian
machines. Running 'lshal' as root starts it up just fine, and it works
normally thereafter as far as I can see. 

I don't see anything untoward in dmesg, nor in the console messages at
boot-time.
