Bug Description
demote ntfs-3g
Kernel now ships ntfs3 kernel module which is preferred over fuse/ntfs-3g way of mounting ntfs3 filesystems.
At the moment we do ship ntfs-3g in standard, live, desktop, server.
udisks2 still recommends ntfs-3g.
ubiquity uses ntfsresize binary shipped by ntfs-3g.
curtin installs and uses ntfs-3g as well, still it seems.
but there is still a lot of useful ntfs-3g tooling in the ntfs-3g package.
For example, maybe we should drop the ntfs-3g initramfs hooks and drop mount.ntfs-3g utilities, in favor of using ntfs3 kernel module. But otherwise keep all other ntfs-3g package utils in place?
or forexample maybe we should drop fuse portions of ntfs-3g, and keep tooling + mounting using ntfs3 kernel module only.
