Subject: pmount: mounts device with wrong uid and gid
Package: pmount
Version: 0.9.18-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When using "pmount /media/cdrom0" to mount a DVD with a regular user 
(uid = gid >= 1000), the device is actually mounted with uid=501 and 
gid=20. User 501 does not exist at all on the system; not sure where it 
comes from. Group 20 is the smallest gid the regular users are 
registered to, but this may be a coincidence.

As a consequence, this also makes mounting DVDs from a user interface 
like gnome/nautilus completely impossible, since it relies on pmount.
