It is exactly that, actually. This is the main reason why Martin Pitt,
the original author of pmount dropped it, because it was - in his view -
superceded by the new behavior of gnome-mount.

What shall we do ? Do you want to file a fresh bug to gnome-mount (I
would prefer that) or would you rather reassign this bug to gnome-mount
? The problem of the second option is that it is much less visible for
the gnome-mount maintainers, that's why I prefer the first one.
