No rate information for battery

The proposed fix

The patch has been accepted upstream (slightly altered due to difference in HAL
CVS). I'm not sure, though, when there'll be a release of HAL and when Ubuntu
will assimilate said release. Just thought I'd mention it.

The patch has been incorporated into the new 0.5.5.1 release of HAL which is
being packaged.

fixed in 0.5.5.1, hal will be updated in dapper right after flight 1 is
released. it's not yet fixed in dapper.

 hal (0.5.5.1-1ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream version that plays with kernels 2.6.13+.
     - Fixes rate information for batteries (#18770)
     - Should fix crash due to missing hald-addon-usb-csr (#18658).
   * Merged Debian changes.
   * debian/hal.post{inst,rm}:
     - Use force-reload instead of reload since dbus' init script does not
       support reload.
     - Only start hal manually if it is not yet running (Ubuntu's dbus will
       start it automatically).
   * debian/hal.{preinst,postrm}: Remove stopping of hald on upgrades since we
     do not want to automatically restart hal.
