Scott, thanks a lot for your investigations, this makes a lot of sense.
To be honest I would be rather cautious with backporting the media
detection patch. A lot of other layers (gvfs, blkid, udev, etc.) have
changed since then, and it is not immediately obvious that this patch
would not cause regressions with some media types or situations.
My gut feeling is that it is much safer to kill the daemon in the prerm,
as you already pointed out. The postinst already does this for upgrades,
so we can just copy the script and replace "configure" with "remove". Do
you want to prepare an SRU/debdiff yourself, or want me to do it?
Thanks, Martin
