update will not be installed for user installing your version?

If you check better you'll see that the PPA version has ~tormod tagged
to it so it will indeed be updated at next Ubuntu update. The attached
debdiff has not, since I posted it as a candidate for hardy-proposed.

random changes to users

I am not "pushing", not even recommending or explaining anyone to
install them :) It's not "random", it's the best shot so far from
upstream. They are not totally happy with it since they are concerned
with ACL and more exotic filesystems etc which is not so important for
normal desktop users. Actually, when copying from a removable drive, I
never want to copy ACL, only the time stamps. Can't be much worse than
the current behaviour IMHO.

To wait for the "official" fix from upstream is not a good option, that
might end up very late and IMO it's already too late. I have
unfortunately already copied much data without checking the timestamps
since I installed 8.04. This patch fixes this 99% for me and probably
many others. I am not saying that this is a perfect fix, but it's a step
in the right direction and we can update again to the perfect fix later.
