Description : Automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices
This package exists already and is available at the upstream author's
website (http://www.zero-based.org/debian). I will merely sponsor it.
I am attaching below the recent post from Martin Dickopp in debian-devel
as well as the reply from Martin Krafft regarding the inclusion of
usbmount in Debian.
