Hmmm, I was thinking what program is the closest to the problem because it is
hard to say. I decided to fill the bug to pmount since the wrong behavior (as I
specified) depends on parsing the /etc/fstab entry. When I do not specify an
entry for the appropriate device there, everything works as expected, so the
INVOKING of (p)mount works fine.
Anyway, I'm using Gnome 2.26.1 (unstable repo). For CDROM, there is an entry in
fstab, so this works fine.

I'm using unstable, and upgrading very often. The installation is in a perfect
state, there are no conflicts, no "U = unpacked packages, all is clearly
installed, without any modifications by hand.

Regarding the above, I still think this is related to pmount and problems while
parsing the /etc/fstab entry.
