This is a udisks2 change; it affects gvfs because gvfs/experimental uses
udisks2, whereas gvfs/unstable uses udisks version 1. Reassigning to
udisks2 so the udisks2 maintainers can confirm this.

It's an upstream change in udisks2 (actually, upstream uses
/run/media/$username, but Debian changes this to /media/$username to
comply with the FHS).

Rationale for using a per-user subdirectory:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51709#c2
(which also explains that you can add a fstab entry to force a
particular disk to be mounted at a particular location).
