That takes care of usb drives where you have NTFS and exFAT file

about. There are other types of usb devices, such as printers,
scanners, cameras, wireless network devices and what not. ntfs-3g does
not handle any of them, unless they also have a file system accessible
by usb. His idea is to have some sort of notification that a new
hardware device is plugged in, and if the device is not supported by
the currently installed packages, figure out which package you need to
install, and give the user a button to click that will install it.
I think that's supposed to be handled by separate device-specific apps,
probably in response to an event issued by the generic USB support when
the device is recognized. For instance, a disk is handled by automount,
printers are handled by system-config-printer or possibly CUPS, wireless
by net-applet or NM, etc.
