  ntfs-3g will mount as root only, breaks mounting as user

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ntfs-3g

  Release 1.2216-1ubuntu1 is built against external fuse libraries, and
  breaks mounting ntfs partitions as user (including external USB
  drives). While previously it could be set suid root, as per bug
  #162863, to allow mounting by an unprivileged user, with the change to
  external fuse libs that no longer is possible.

  This affects at least kubuntu hardy with kde 3.5.x and with 4.0.x, as
  now it is impossible to mount external NTFS formatted drives using
  dolphin/konqueror as a regular user.
