Hello,
fuse-source is not needed anymore with recent kernel. I think dropping
fuse-source package is the right way, at least for a stable release.
If you don't mind I would rather remove fuse-source by myself. I'm not
MIA, just a bit fusy theses days but I'll be on hollidays next week so
I'll fix my RCs ;-)
Regards, Adam.

Since the fuse kernel module is present in the stock kernel images,
the best solution seems to be to drop the fuse-source binary package
altogether.
Even though I personally think all out-of-tree kernel modules should be
deleted (the proper way for the features to appear in Debian is via the
upstream linux kernel - any other way is just avoiding QA), this is what
the packages NEWS.Debian file says:
fuse (2.6.5-2) unstable; urgency=low
The fuse-source package is back. Even though fuse comes with all recent
2.6 kernels, some software (i.e. ntfs-3g) needs the most recent fuse API
to enable all its features.

Has kernel upgrades since then included the features ntfs-3g needs?
If not, maybe it's better to not enable these at all until then to avoid
the maintenance burden of the the fuse-source package.
Removing the "binary" fuse-source package is a simple enough way to fix
the problem, but maybe the maintainers should ACK it before anyone
thinks of uploading a NMU here.
