I considered waiting tc2 for it but I'd rather not spend more time on tc2 than I must. Kinda annoying though, we seem to be getting two important features, ntfs resize and raid 5, right after our big featureful release.. > One question is who will care to install ntfstools-udeb.

If we add the dependency in 2 we could do it only for architectures that can reasonably expect to have ntfs partitions (i386, amd64, whatever), though this would mean making partman-partitioning arch any. -- see shy jo
