retitle 356227 usbmount fails to call runparts scripts upon unmounting
thanks

I too have discovered that if one does umount(8) first, the scripts in
/etc/usbmount/umount.d/ will not get run, thus the symlinks in
/var/run/usbmount will be left sitting there. (Yes, hal is installed, I
didn't look into the details. All I know is that from us users' point of
view:)

This is in contrast to /usr/share/doc/usbmount/README.gz:

  Likewise, the command 'run-parts /etc/usbmount/umount.d' is executed
  after a device or partition has been unmounted.

We see that in the world that usbmount grew up in, the kids just yanked
the devices out of the socket, and that was called "unmounting". (No
wonder sync is the default.) In the world I grew up in, we were taught
to first use umount(8).

Anyway, if usbmount cannot detect umount(8) actions, then we gentlemanly
types probably must train ourselves to act like the aforementioned kids
and now avoid umount(8)!

Anyways, at least change the wording of README.gz.
