Binary package hint: udisks

In udisks changelog says:

"udisks (1.0.1+git20100614-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upgrade to current git HEAD:
    - [...]
    - Do not have files executable on NTFS."

I have a 16Gb pendrive partitioned with ntfs which I use to carry my development environment as I switch from one computer to another, and I have it with ntfs because I need to move large files. I have Ubuntu 10.10 maverick installed and updated and udisks 1.0.1+git20100614-3.

The problem comes when I try to run a .sh script to launch the development environment on linux. I can't do it because the excecution bit isn't set anymore on ntfs. So now I have to copy my entire environment to my home, change the excecution bit, and only then I'm able to run it. It's annoying. I don't want to have it duplicated on every computer I use, and I need the filesystem formatted with ntfs to interface with windows computers and to carry large files.

Please can someone fix or rollback this?

Or at least can anyone give me a hint on what should I do to rollback this behavior on my system?

Thanks,

Mariano.
