You're comfortable with creating a situation where those two packages must
always be upgraded in lockstep and there's no way to retain the old
version of the ntfs-3g shared library on disk to allow for partial
upgrades?  Policy doesn't like this configuration for (IMO) sound reasons.
It may be fine as a special exception in this case, but I'm not really
seeing why we would want to generally relax Policy here.

But we can discuss this over on the Policy list, I suppose.
