Done yesterday.

In the interest of smooth upgrades we will leave mount/umount alone
for the moment. I just uploaded a new version of pmount which is now
restricted to plugdev members. If the group does not exist yet, pmount
postinst creates it. IMHO this is better than having the postinst fail
or silently allow pmount execution to everybody.

So you still need to add the users to the plugdev group if you want to
use pmount and upgraded from an older Warty version.
