Package: libguestfs0
Severity: normal

Dear libguestfs maintainers,
can the dependency on ntfs-3g be demoted to a Recommends? This way it's still
installed by default, but any installation can make a concious decision to
deinstall it (which makes a lot of sense since it's setuid root, which led
to CVE-2017-0358) and there's plenty of setups where NTFS is not needed at
all.

Cheers,
        Moritz
