Add support for new ntfs-3g driver

[Kevin Kubasik]

The new ntfs-3g userspace driver (via FUSE) now has full blown 100% _write_ support. While normaly new packages are not added to a release this late, I think considering the huge implications in usability and interoperabilty, it might be worth considering including in dapper.

Yes this would be nice. According to the webpage, eventually this will be merged into the linux-ntfs ntfsprogs package, but in the mean time, a package in universe would be nice and maybe it can still be considered for inclusion in edgy??

Btw. Ubuntu packages are available here: http://tiber.tauware.de/~zakame/ntfs-3g/

Packages are in universe now.
