Awesome, autofs has been annoying me for a while. Is the afuse setup in 
the standard repositories yet? aptitude update shows me an update to 
debathena-autofs-config but nothing named debathena-afuse-config (on 
Gutsy, 32-bit).

If I want to switch to afuse on my laptop (either at next reboot or 
immediately; the former actually seems preferable), do I only need to wait 
a bit and aptitude install debathena-afuse-config without uninstalling 
anything?
