OK, I've reported a bug against the sshfs documentation:

According to the sshfs documentation:

---- quote from /usr/share/doc/sshfs/README ----------------------------
Once sshfs is installed (see next section) running it is very simple:

  sshfs hostname: mountpoint

Note, that it's recommended to run it as user, not as root.  For this
to work the mountpoint must be owned by the user. [...]
------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the sshfs FAQ doesn't say much more. But under Debian, this is
not sufficient: the user also needs to be in group fuse, otherwise
one gets the following error:

fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied

I think that sshfs should come with a README.Debian file saying this
kind of things.

(Note: even though /dev/fuse is readable only by user root and group
fuse, needing to add the user to group fuse is not obvious, as sshfs
could be sgid fuse or execute a program that is sgid fuse to avoid
this step.)
