Indeed...I should've said "removing the [one] file ... in favor of the
[other]".

To be clear, one wasn't incorrect to the point of uselessness - it was
just not as complete / correct as we would like.  It was still useful,
which is why removing it is less than ideal.

Yeah - the current situation seems like tidy-up that had an undesired
consequence, as I assume olpc-utils' .fdi file was being used in
preference to hal-info's one.

Where is the .fdi file "supposed" to live - /etc/hal/... or
/usr/share/hal/...?
