Breezy Floppy Disk Bug

[Tim Frost]

The pmount update, although it appears in the ubuntu archive at
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pmount/,  is a generic
DEBIAN package, rather than being ubuntu-specific.  It is NOT in the
Ubuntu update repositories, which is why it doesn't show up in the
ubuntu upgrades list.
