Comment 50 for bug 885027

1) It does not work out of the box on all distros (it needs configuration)

Contribute whatever magic you used to work around doing this configuration yourself.

2) It may not even be installed on some distros, for example, it isn't installed by default on gentoo.

I'm certain that Calibre isn't installed by default. Since you will responsibly put all your other dependencies in your Calibre packages, why not add pmount to those dependencies?

3) It has been deprecated in favor of udisks (which incidentally calibre tries to use before falling back to the mount helper).

Why not put a dependency on udisks?
