Hi vorlon,

I'm using ntfs-3g for ages, my corporate does too.
Well, in fact, thousand of people uses ntfs-3g every days and nobody
ever reported data corruption. As the software was still in experimental
state when I packaged it, I added a debconf screen to warns users,
however I thinks it's stupid to drop such a famous and usefull package
(consider nobody reported a real bug on ntfs-3g since it's into the
archive...).

Regards.
