[Bug 788368] Re: [Update Request] NTFS-3G + NTFSPROGS 2011.4.12

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Hi, I added a bug watch to the Debian bug. This is done by clicking on
"also affects distribution" right above the bug description, selecting
Debian and pasting the URL.

Since this package has some Ubuntu-specific changes, it will need to be
manually merged after it appears in Debian.

** Also affects: ntfs-3g (Debian) via
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626645
