Someone in #debian mentioned to me that they were getting some odd

ago there was someone with a problem caused by systemd auto mounting
filesystems in response to udev events triggered by gparted, and so as a
workaround, gparted masks all mount units. Curtis Gedeck and I can't
seem to figure out now, why this was needed because we can't seen to get
systemd to automatically mount a filesystem just because it's device is
hot plugged. Are there any circumstances under which systemd will mount
a filesystem when it's device is hotplugged?
Yes, in nearly all older systemd versions, if a fstab entry had 'auto' then its generated .mount unit was automatically inserted into the corresponding .device's Wants= list. (Which IMHO was quite useful with 'auto,nofail' combined.) This was removed in systemd v242.
