Does official 3.5.13.2 SRU have hal or other hot-plugged h/w support?

I'm referring to the batch of packages at http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/releases/3.5.… as the "official" 3.5.13.2 SRU, and was wondering if things like the old KDE desktop-popup-on-usbstick-insert is expected to work? I'm running hal-0.5.14, though that may not have been installed at the time I compiled kdelibs-trinity-3.5.13.2. I do notice that the kdelibs-trinity-3.5.13.2 that's on the official 3.5.13.2 SRU release page does _not_ have a visible "WITH_HAL" option, nor any other h/w related settings such as "WITH_UDISK" etc. So is it a known "feature" that this release doesn't isn't expected to work with hot-pluggable h/w, or is it just me? z.
