Considering bug #453619 in hal/0.5.10-3 there was a suggestion filing a
new bug against mount. So I will do so:

Devices cannot be mounted with the option "uhelper=hal". Trying to do so
cause the following error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

and dmesg shows the following line:

FAT: Unrecognized mount option "uhelper=hal" or missing value

That problem arises when upgrading hal from version 0.5.8.1-9 (etch) to
0.5.10-2 (lenny) or 0.5.10-4 (sid). The uhelper-option should be handled
by the util-linux package (version 2.13.x), but it does not.

In consequence mounting devices with the gnome-volume-manager fails,
what's of course a little bit annoying. So, that's it.
