The fuser app that comes built-in to the Busybox shipped with the N900 is broken. It just doesn't work. At all.
The psmisc package found in Extras-devel has a working fuser binary, but it does bad things to your Maemo install, removing the busybox-symlinks-psmisc package, which then removes the very important mp-fremantle-generic-pr package, making it impossible to do over-the-air firmware updates!
So I would like someone to make a package that contains a "safe" version of fuser. This will probably mean that you have to call it a different name ("gnufuser" or "gfuser" or something), and maybe, if you're feeling a bit naughty, you could move the symlink for "fuser" from busybox to the new "gnufuser" in your postinst, but without removing the "busybox-symlinks-psmisc" package.
Without a working fuser, I can't kill chroot apps, a very important part of my Easy Debian system.
