Bug#897304: O: pmount -- mount removable devices as normal user

[Vincent Fourmond <fourmond@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

  Hello,

  I hereby orphan the pmount package. This package is widely installed
and rather useful. Prospective maintainers should also take up the
upstream maintenance which I have given up long time ago already.

  Maintenance is delicate since the binary is installed with setuid
permissions. On the other hand, there hasn't been a reported security
breach for a very long time now.

  Kind regards,

	Vincent


The package description is:
 pmount is a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal
 users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/fstab entry. This
 provides a robust basis for automounting frameworks like GNOME's Utopia
 project and confines the amount of code that runs as root to a minimum.
 .
 If a LUKS capable cryptsetup package is installed, pmount is able to
 transparently mount encrypted volumes.
