Thanks for pointing those out Michael. I hadn't noticed that Debian
didn't have the ntfs option turned on in their kernel, but the mkfs
point is also valid.
Should I just close the request since currently the recommends seems to
be more appropriate?

The change was suggested on
https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+git/udisks2/+merge/419970
but the rational applies to Debian as well
'Demote ntfs-3g from recommends to suggests; now that ntfs3 kernel
module is preferred.'
Could you elaborate here?
If I uninstall ntfs-3g I get
$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1
Error mounting /dev/sdb1:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error mounting
/dev/sdb1 at /media/michael/EXTREME: Filesystem type ntfs not
configured in kernel.
Also, ntfs-3g ships mkfs.ntfs etc which would be missing otherwise.
I.e. users wouldn't be able to create NTFS formatted USB sticks for
example, which is an important use case imho.
