You also want these patches from HEAD to fix cases where unmounting a
volume takes more than 15 seconds (highly unlikely unless you are
copying big files onto slow devices), the D-BUS timeout value. Basically
the patches make hald not use locking, the full story is in the diffs.
It shouldn't affect normal usage though.

I'll spin a 0.5.8.1 release in a few days with these.
