1) This problem will affect all users that have ntfs checks requested in
their fstab after upgrading to oneiric. These are supposedly *very
many*.

2) The real problem is not that the check fails, but that oneiric's
startup screen FALSELY reports that there were "serious problems"
mounting the drives. The screen should report that the drives could not
be checked since no program to do this was available. The message as it
is will badly scare users, since the must assume that their data is
damaged, which, most likely, is not the case.

3) Not requesting the check will of course avoid this bug. But since
users could safely request checking in fstab up to natty without
receiving any errors, we must assume that checks *are* requested for
ntfs drives.

4) This is a show stopper for oneiric.
