Comment 10 for bug 657900

Seems like this feature was removed from cifs-utils, see <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=576713> and /usr/share/doc/cifs-utils/NEWS.Debian.gz:

cifs-utils (2:4.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * As of this version, the mount.cifs binary is no longer setuid due to
    upstream concerns about the audit status of this code. As a consequence,
    users will no longer be able to run mount.cifs directly to mount shares
    unless mount points have been individually configured in /etc/fstab with
    the "user" mount option.

    Sites that require their users to retain the ability to mount arbitrary
    CIFS shares without system-level configuration may want to consider using
    the fusesmb package instead.
