[Matt Joiner <anacrolix@xxxxxxxxx>]

1) It does not work out of the box on all distros (it needs
configuration)

Contribute whatever magic you used to work around doing this
configuration yourself.

2) It may not even be installed on some distros, for example, it isn't
installed by default on gentoo.

I'm certain that Calibre isn't installed by default. Since you will
responsibly put all your other dependencies in your Calibre packages,
why not add pmount to those dependencies?

3) It has been deprecated in favor of udisks (which incidentally calibre
tries to use before falling back to the mount helper).

Why not put a dependency on udisks?
