[Bug 1569021] Re: [upgrade request] NTFS-3G, stable version 2016.2.22 (released on March 20, 2016)

[Amr Ibrahim]

I think there is a misunderstanding here and in the Debian bug report. Debian (and then Ubuntu) does not follow the base ntfs-3g release. Debian packages the advanced release (which has AR in its version numbering). So the latest AR release is 2015.3.14AR.3, not 2016.2.22, which is a base release.
