[Bug 1957756] [NEW] ntfs-3g should switch to fuse3 (build-)dependencies

[Paride Legovini]

Public bug reported:

As outlined in the fuse3 MIR bug LP: #1934510 the current plan is to
demote fuse2 to universe before the end of the 22.04 cycle. The ntfs-3g
currently has dependencies on fuse2:

Build-Depends: libfuse-dev (>= 2.9.3-16)

Package: ntfs-3g
Pre-Depends:
 fuse [linux-any],
 fuse4bsd [kfreebsd-any],

Package: ntfs-3g-udeb
 fuse-udeb,

We should try rebuilding the package against fuse3 and see how it
behaves. Upstream is active, but I don't see fuse3 being mentioned in
the commit history or issue tracker.

I don't immediately see the reason for the Pre-Depends, I think we
should check if that's actually needed or if it can be dropped. The
dependency on bin:fuse is an issue as fuse3 Breaks: fuse, and we'll have
other packages depending on bin:fuse3.

** Affects: ntfs-3g (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
         Status: New

** Changed in: ntfs-3g (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High
