Oh, forgot to tell you. The debian package is of course called fusesmb
:). Just do:

(as root) apt-get install fusesmb
(as user) mkdir ~/smb
(as user) fusesmb ~/smb

... and you're all set. Unmounting can be done as normal user like
this: fusermount -u ~/smb

NOTE: If your user doesn't belong to the fuse group that must be dealt
with first by (as root): adduser loosername fuse
