Short answer: it's not supported

Longer answer: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=916987#35

There are patches for pmount floating around and I used a locally build and patched pmount.
Depending on your local security requirements you might be also fine with adding the suid
flag but that's not something I can recommend for everyone.
