Yes, on Wheezy too.
R14.0.0 in Linux relies on tdehwlib and does not required HAL. I just
completed an upgrade in Wheezy from 3.5.13.2 to R14.0.0 and no HAL is
not installed. There were a few left-over configuration files as in:

~# dpkg -l |grep hal
|
Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
rc  hal   0.5.14-8  amd64        Hardware Abstraction Layer
rc  libhal-storage1   0.5.14-8   amd64        Hardware Abstraction
Layer - shared library for storage devices
rc  libhal1  0.5.14-8   amd64   Hardware Abstraction Layer - shared
library

but a simple clean up with aptitude got rid of it.
You should be able to get rid of HAL without major problems, unless
you are using other programs that specifically require it.

Cheers
  Michele
