I know that in E19 (and I assume E17), you can set EFM to *not* mount drives automatically. See Settings > File Manager > Device and uncheck "Mount volumes on insertion". What I have noticed in E19 is that I can unmount external devices, but not always eject them (pen drives yes; most external HDDs, no). If you are unable to unmount them in Debian (I'm on Manjaro), there are two options. First, perhaps someone could suggest a simple bash script that would work the magic outside of EFM. Second, simply use another FM. EFM is not the greatest FM around (and intolerably slow on a 32-bit machine until about 6 months ago) and there are a lot of good ones out there. I have used DoubleCommander for over a year in part because it automatically mounts the Win partitions on my dual-boot machine -- and I love the dual pane managers. SpaceFM is similar and much lighter. You can also install LXDE's PCmanFM or XFCE's Thunar. (The irony in all these suggestions is that although I now sometimes use EFM, I have mostly kept it active for mounting and unmounting external drives!) By the way, the Places module is constantly criticised for not playing nice in E, so Debian may not have elected to include in in the repositories. I hope some of these ramblings help.
