Eject option not present for removable devices

Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

When you plug-in a removable device (a USB pen) and unsafely remove it, the warning message says:

"To avoid serious data loss, disable removable drives with the "Eject" option in the drive icon's..."

The problem is that there's no "Eject" option for removable devices in the context menu, but there's the "Unmount volume" option, "Eject" is for CDs/DVDs.

This results in a wrong message for user trying to unplug their devices.

In fact Hardy doesn't even use g-v-m for mounting any more, but we should resurrect that warning. I'll fix it.

---------------
gnome-volume-manager (2.22.1-1ubuntu3) hardy; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/00_disable_media_handling.patch: Disable handling of CD
    eject, nautilus does that now. (LP: #202931)
  * Add debian/patches/02_fix_autokeyboard_gconf.patch: Fix gconf option
    indexes, so that automount_media actually moves to the correct index and
    is properly ignored by debian/patches/00_disable_media_handling.patch.
    This should also fix a couple of other "configuration is ignored" bugs.
    (LP: #209586)
  * Add debian/patches/08_fix_scanner_support.patch: Fix getting device node
    from scanners, so that the autoscanner command works again. (LP: #36137)
  * Disable 95_ubuntu_auto_unmount_notifications.patch: It has never really
    worked reliably, it stopped working since automounting moved to nautilus
    and gvfs, and upstream won't accept it. As a side effect, this obsoletes
    the "incorrect string" bug. (LP: #160782)
