I'm assuming you want this because the desktop icon disappears before
the device is properly unmounted (synced). That is a well-known bug:

I believe this has been fixed upstream though, so as soon as 2.16 hits
Sid I'm expecting to not have the problem anymore. If you're running
stable you'd probably have to wait a little longer though.

What you can do is tell udev to always create a link to a specific
