Thanks for the report. Nice to see piuparts scrutinizing the archive. :) When I added these /media bits to pmount, base-files did not yet create it. > Would it be acceptable to you to just assume that /media exists, given > that it is created by base-files in sarge already? Or perhaps depend on > a version of base-files that creates /media? The latter sounds reasonable. Just to be sure, I could also add an 'mkdir -p' call to the postinst.
