Since Christoph Anton Mitterer keeps repeating that, I want to make sure
that everyone else reading this bug report is aware that this is *not* true.

With the default policy we ship in Debian, the following conditions need
to be met, that a non-admin user can mount/umount

- The user needs to be local and active, e.g. a user logged in via SSH
can *not* arbitrarly mount/umount anything
- The media needs to be removable, i.e. a local partition can *not* be
mounted/unmounted.

The mount points are created on the fly and owned by the user beneath
/media/<user>

So this is hardly everyone-may-access-everything.
