Here we experience one of the great Debian advantages, split packages,
http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=gvfsd

The package that has to be installed is named gvfs-daemons.

If you want to know what gvfsd did or didn't, run

strace /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd

after you inserted a DVD.

strace is available by a package named strace, regarding to
http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=wheezy&section=all&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=strace

Perhaps it isn't gvfsd but something else ;) and even if the issue
should be caused by gvfsd, at least I do understand less of a strace
output, that's why I got help by another user, to find out what by gvfs
does kill external "green" drives. FWIW neither the expert who helps me
nor I use gvfs ourself.
