Package: fuse-utils
Version: 2.5.3-4.1
Severity: minor


AFAICT, fusermount shouldn't be called in order to mount, directly, by the 
user, and instead programs should trigger it.

Only for unmounting should it be used...

I think this should be added to the doc / man page.

Otherwise, all mount attempts will lead to :
fusermount: old style mounting not supported

Version: 2.8.5-1

in 2.8.5-1 (and probably earlier version, haven't checked), the fusermount binary is shipped 0755 in the package itself, and later set suid during postinst, hence closing this bug.
