Moving to mtools. This should not affect palimpsest any more, we moved
udisks to use dosfslabel instead of mlabel.

** Package changed: dosfstools (Ubuntu) => mtools (Ubuntu)

Title:
  mlabel doesn't put lower case labels

Status in “mtools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dosfstools

  Using the last mlabel version (Mtools version 4.0.10, dated March
  10th, 2009), renaming a SD card it puts the label always "UPPERCASE"
  instead of "CaseSensitive".

  Example:

  $ sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdb1 ::Kingston -- gives me always "KINGSTON"
  instead of "Kingston"

  
  Thank dosfslabel (3.0.3, 18 May 2009, FAT32, LFN), I could put a label with case sensitive name.

  $ sudo dosfslabel /dev/sdb1 Kingston (checked with blkid)

  
  Also palimpsest and gparted have the same issue regarding uppercase label names on Karmic.
