Squeeze, at least not for me.

Googling indicates this is a known issue, but seems to be ignored as
being somehow uninteresting to GUI users, or something. I can't find
anything that is Debian specific on this.

In Sid/Squeeze, gnome-volume-manager no longer handles automounting of removable
drives. That is directly managed within nautilus/gvfs nowadays.
You can configure this settings in nautilus: Edit->Preferences->Media.

See also the changelog of gnome-volume-manager.

The main purpose of g-v-m in sid/squeeze remains to handle special cases like
handling webcam plugin events and stuff.

HTH,
