When pmount was initially created, we explicitly defined that pmount
must not mount hard disk partitions. In Ubuntu, hard disk partitions
which are supposed to be used by the user are created statically in
fstab, and you can explicitly allow additional devices in
/etc/pmount.allow, though.

That would indeed be a nice abstraction, given over how many places
this is spread. I. e. (using consolehelper/gksudo/gsku/etc.). However,
I'm not aware of a project to abstract these into a library.
