Hello Michael,
Go ahead with a NMU. It'll be faster and I really think this bug should
be fixed asap.
Thanks for having a look and fixing this issue !
Regards,
Adam.

Package: ntfs-3g
Version: 1:1.2531-1
Severity: important
Hi Adam,
I'm part of the Debian pkg-utopia team which maintains hal.
A recent bug report [1] against hal, brought to our attention, that mounting
ntfs volumes from within KDE is broken, so potentially quite a few users are
affected.
You can read the details on the bug report [1] or at the discussion I started
on the hal mailing list [2].
In short, it's about hal offering the locale= option for ntfs file systems,
while the kernel fs driver does not support the locale= option.
There are attempts to fix this in a more sophisticated way withing hal, which
will also require updates to the mount tools of KDE and GNOME, but this
is not doable for lenny.
A proposed short term solution, is to remove the locale= option from
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi
and make the ntfs-3g package ship a fdi file, which adds the locale= option back
and overrides the fstype to be ntfs-3g, i.e. if ntfs-3g is installed, hal will
always use ntfs-3g when mounting ntfs volumes, which imo is an acceptable
compromise and I'd like to get this fix into lenny.
This requires, that the ntfs-3g package installs a file, like the one
I've attached, to /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/
As soon as you have updated the ntfs-3g to include this file, I'd upload an
updated hal version, which removes the locale= option from
20-storage-methods.fdi and ask for freeze exceptions for lenny for both hal and
ntfs-3g.
If you are too busy, I'd offer to NMU ntfs-3g, if you grant me the permission to
do it.
Cheers,
Michael
