I just want to express my support for Maxim Levitsky's position that this 
should be fixed now:
We (i.e. the company I'm working for) are distributing software that is 
installed on a USB stick and, unfortunately, the Linux (auto-)start scripts 
don't handle trailing whitespace in the volume label (or rather in the mount 
path that's automagically generated from it). I have no idea, what percentage 
of the end customers  of our cross-platform product is actually using Linux 
(and how many of those are actually using Ubuntu), but having to warn all 
customers "Well, if you upgrade to the upcoming Ubuntu release, you'll always 
have to manually unmount the automatically mounted USB device and remount it to 
a path without trailing spaces prior to starting the application" is going to 
be bad publicity for everyone involved.
Thanks for your attention.
