Can we get ntfs-3g 2010.1.16 in Lucid?

[stephan]

Thanks for the pointer Daniel!

It looks like Michael will help us all out and do a non-maintainer
upgrade to get 2010.1.16 into testing:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560685#44

Does that mean it will automatically go into Lucid?  Or is there more
work to be done since the package in Ubuntu ends with "-1ubuntu5"  ?
Thanks,

stephan
