           Summary: x11/gdm: Unclear hald dependency

x11/gdm no longer has a direct dependency on hald. It is no longer clear
whether starting gdm is contingent on starting hald. Note that hald is required
for the existing gdm rc.d script, or gdm will loop for 60 seconds before
starting looking for hal devices using `lshal`.

If hald is indeed still a dependency the REQUIRE line needs to be updated.
Otherwise, hal should be removed.
