grml2usb checks for /sys/class/block/sdX/removable and if there's
"1" inside it's detected as removable device, otherwise not.
Problem: some usb keys (wrongly) claim to be non-removable devices
(the Grml key suffers from this for example as well).
Could we safely consider usb drives to be *always* removable devices?
