So it is clearly not DFSG free and should eventually be removed. Unless I am missing something about the NTFS on-disk structure, then the first 512 bytes (the boot record proper) can be easily replaced by the code from dosfstools and the rest (the first part of NTLDR) can be omitted since it is only useful if you need to boot a Windows OS from the disk, which would need to be installed from other sources anyway (Windows PE has a program to install NTLDR, in needed). -- ciao, Marco
