Apparently, though unproven, at 08:43 on Wednesday 18 May 2011, Mick did opine

There's a bug in the ebuild:

$ equery depends eeze
 * These packages depend on eeze:
x11-wm/enlightenment-9999 (udev ? dev-libs/eeze)
                          (!hal ? dev-libs/eeze)
$

All other deps for efl packages specifically state version -9999 except this 
one. 

eeze is part of EFL and released as 1.0.0, so that dep is satisfied.

Haven't used e17 much lately and almost never use icons on the desktop 
(mount/umount in an xterm instead - old habit). But the google search that 
found the thread above also found something that automounting was done by hal 
in the past, that ehal is e17 code to interface with hal and it is 
enabled/disabled at run time using detection routines. Plus a few other 
snippets of info that led me to believe autodetection of devices doesn't work 
reliably at this time without hal.
