Actually, I take this all back.  Sorry for the noise.  It looks as if
dbus-daemon depends on hald, and the two init scripts are interwoven.  Both
daemons are now being loaded, and I haven't been able to reproduce the
aforementioned race condition again.  Don't know.  I pulled and re-inserted
hald in the rc init mix a couple of times.
