Mhmm, something is borked.

Current status:
	o upstream disabled media support short before 0.8.1
	  A better implementations was planed (and was done)
	  for 0.9.  So --download-from  does not mount a USB
	  mass storage device.   That's what Rob noticed.
        o There a desktop file (afair) taken from bugs.kde.org/SuSE
	  by coolo. But this report contained also a patch for
	  digikam.

I've never use this SuSE media support variant for 0.8.2 myself.
So I don't know how well it works.

Solutions:
	1) add digikam patch needed to support the servicemenu
	   entry digikam_upload_photos.desktop

	2) follow upstream remove media: support.  That is
	    a) don't install debian/digikam_upload_photos.desktop
	    b) comment out last sentence --download-from in digikam
	       manpage that talks about (auto)mounting.

Mark, implement whatever you feel is the best. I've no etch system
right now.
