That would be indeed a convenience for pmount-hal only...

Me too. The command line option would look more interesting in order to feed 
from HAL. Apart from this it has no real use.

That's fine with me, I was just wondering if it was possible to do it 
differently. In case the FHS change, it looks easy to modify 
pmount/pmount-hal to make it comply, so it's future-proof enough for me.

Keep up the nice pmount. ;-)
