        Also, look at this:

Package: usbmount
Description: automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices
 This package automatically mounts USB mass storage devices (typically
 USB pens) when they are plugged in, and unmounts them when they are
 removed. The mountpoints (/media/usb[0-7] by default), filesystem
 types to consider, and mount options are configurable. When multiple
 devices are plugged in, the first available mountpoint is
 automatically selected. If the device provides a model name, a
 symbolic link /var/run/usbmount/MODELNAME pointing to the mountpoint
 is automatically created.
 .
 The script that does the (un)mounting is called by the udev daemon.
 Therefore, USBmount requires a 2.6 (or newer) kernel.
 .
 USBmount is intended as a lightweight solution which is independent
 of a desktop environment. Users which would like an icon to appear
 when an USB device is plugged in should use the pmount and hal
 packages instead.
