Alan was referring to this program.
While I have no problem with smart cdrom/floppy handling, running ANYTHING
on the CD automatically is deserving of a severity grave bug against the
package:
2 grave makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes
data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
accounts of users who use the package.
The second half of that most certainly applies. If the autorun functions
cannot be seperated easily from the automount functions, this package
should not go into Debian.
