This is what I noticed as well. And I see that mtpfs has been removed
from stable and testing. It is in Sid, however, so a better working
version may be coming.

I found another way that works well though. Provided that the device
has a WiFi connection to the same router your PC is connected to (wired
or via WiFi), you can use the Software Data Cable app in Android to
access your device via FTP.
For example, it prompts you to connect to ftp://192.168.2.1:8888/
rsync does not work with FTP, but you can use the lftp program to
connect and use its 'mirror' function to sync with a local directory,
as explained here: www.cyberciti.biz/faq/lftp-mirror-example/
As far as I have been able to try, it works without problems.
