And that has no activity since years.

No, it is not necessary to package all the things, only what you are going to
use. After the installation, you will have full .deb support, so in the udeb
you will need a stripped, size-optimized, statically-linked ntfsresize only
(just exactly how Joey kindly put into bug #265617, many thanks, Joey!).

Do not worry, I just saw that I messed the Conflicts and Replaces in 1.9.2-1,
so tomorrow I will release a new version with the udeb.
*NOTE* After that, you will have to talk to archive maintainers for approving
my release in time as I suppose that they need to edit the override file for
udebs as well.
Many thanks, and please keep up your superb work,
Ender.
