Yes, I just checked, and ntfs-config builds fine without these build-dependencies. I also tested in a virutal machine, that ntfs-config still runs, no idea, why these build-depends where introduced. > As ntfs-3g ships a /sbin/mount.ntfs symlink nowadays, mounting ntfs > volumes will automatically prefer ntfs-3g, so I'm wondering if ntfs-3g > is actually still useful today or if we should consider removing it. I disagree. While this package has indeed limited use, there is still one usecase: Having a GUI to add ntfs-partitions to your fstab. Granted, it's a quite limited use case, but according to popcon there is some userbase available. So I guess I'll prepare a QA upload droping said build-dependencies.
