Bug#927221: Comparisons to Other Distros

[Ron Lovell]

Wow, that was quick.

As a sanity check, I took a look at my Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed
installations.  Each has both fuse[2] and fuse3 installed, each has the
corresponding library installed.

For Arch, a fuse-common pkg supplies /usr/bin/mount.fuse, which happens to
be dyn linked to libfuse 3 (per ldd(1)).  Pkg fuse2 supplies
/usr/bin/fusermount, not dyn linked to libfuse per ldd. Pkg fuse3 supplies
/usr/bin/fusermount3, again not linked.
gvfsd-fuse requires fuse2 and is linked to libfuse 2. sshfs requires fuse3
and is linked to libfuse 3.

For Tumbleweed, pkg fuse supplies /usr/sbin/mount.fuse, not linked to
libfuse per ldd. Pkg fuse3 supplies /usr/sbin/mount.fuse which links to
libfuse 3. Pkg fuse supplies /usr/bin/fusermount, not linked. Pkg fuse3
supplies /usr/bin/fusermount3, not linked.

On both systems I was able to use the fuse2 fusermount to unmount an sshfs
(fuse3) mount, but that doesn't mean much.

So I'm a wee bit worried that not having BOTH fuse and fuse co-installed
might uncover problems in Debian. Time for lots of testing when the bits
are available. I'll try to help out there.
