Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
If I unmount the USB stick before running usb-creator, it does almost nothing but claims to have completed successfully (I'll file that part separately). It looks like it fetches the current mountpoint from hal, but if the device isn't mounted then it just passes -t '' to install.py, rather than mounting it on demand.

This bug was fixed in the package usb-creator - 0.1.3

usb-creator (0.1.3) intrepid; urgency=low
[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Added a man page for usb-creator.8.
* UI reworking after discussions with mpt. Thanks Matthew.
- The labels are far less wordy.
- Enabling persistence is now an explict option button selection rather
than implicitly enabled when the slider is moved to a value greater
than 0.
- There are now two treeviews, instead of the previous comboboxes, that
update automatically to reflect changes to the device's structure, and
provide warnings when a device is either unusable or require the user
to delete some files to free up space before continuing.
* Fixed the left-alignment of labels thanks to a tip from Colin Watson.
* Merged the separate CD and ISO lists into the CD list in the backend.
* Replaced the log-output backed command wrapper with a simpler solution
(LP: #269044).
* Now logging to ~/.usb-creator.log instead of just stdout.
* Moved the persistence code from the backend to scripts/install.py and
wired up the persistence scale in the frontend.
* The backend now reports the task description in addition to the progress
value.
* A failure dialog is now shown when scripts/install.py exits non-zero
(LP: #269035).
* Mount the target device at install time if it has not already been
mounted (LP: #269032).
* Properly set the labels of the progress dialog on install startup.
* Do not make the dialogs modal.
* Elevate privileges using gksu.
* Added a .desktop file (LP: #267788).
* Work around a bug in syslinux wherein it can only find the configuration
file for the option labels in the root of the device.
* Handle devices with empty partition tables.
* Automatically mount (and unmount) partitions (LP: #269032).
* Fixed missing Debian dependencies (LP: #269767).
* UI Freeze exception upload (LP: #270530).
[ Colin Watson ]
* Avoid executing commands via the shell (LP: #269048).
