pmount-hal's job is to figure out the right options, so it should
handle dvd+rw's right. Worst-case it should be changed to decide mounting ro or
rw based on an hal property.

Upstream doesn't use pmount, so it's useless forwarding to upstream. Even more,
debian's gnome-volume-manager is so heavily patched that reporting upstream is
basically useless.. (Not that upstream reacts to us anyway)
