Bug#572668: nautilus: Volumes cannot be mounted in sudo mode.

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.28.4-1
Severity: normal

Since Gnome 2.28, volumes can be mounted just by clicking on them from nautilus, even if they are not in /etc/fstab, by asking for the root password first.
When Debian is installed in sudo mode (no root password set), nautilus or policykit ask also for root password and they fail authentication.
This could be also a bug in packages: policykit, sudo, or debian-installer.
