The problem is more subtle during installation fusermount is SUID,
owned by root and executable by other. Therefore permission on
/dev/fuse are not checked. After post inst run, fusermount will not be
executable by other. But they exist a windows between copy and post
inst rule when fusermount could be used by everybody.
