gnote does not depend on hal it comes from recursion i can not do anything about it
gnome-vfs depends on libhal and libhal-storage which is in hal.tcz
and libgnome depends on gnome-vfs
a similar problem with avahi.tcz only avahi libs are enough

gnote has a really huge dependency list. I'm convinced that most are not needed for such a simple application. As it is now adds extensions not used att all. However it is a nice application, but would be get rid off this overhead and make a bit more TC-like. It is a common tendency now to throw out HAL and replace with other tools. THis is why I'm curious which applications are really using HAL.

If there's a need, the libs could be split out of the avahi extension..

that would be nice if you do it
splitting avahi and hal like avahi-lib.tcz and hal-lib.tcz will help to reduce dep list a bit

there is still hal in lucid
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libgnomevfs2-0
if we build gnome-vfs without hal we will loose functionality in gnome like lcd brightness or volume manager
gnote is a gnome application but i also want it to run for other platforms just like brasero, totem, file-roller

Well, I'm not saying that HAL will be removed from the repo. But it is true that it is in maintenance mode and distros are just moving away. Message on HAL's home page:
HAL is in maintenance mode - no new features are added. All future development focuses on Software/DeviceKit-disks, Software/DeviceKit-power, NetworkManager, PulseAudio, udev, ...
