Well, if the RMs ack this two line change, I, as co-maintainer of hal, 
would be willing to prepare a updated package for etch.

To summarize the issue:
The hal version in etch doesn't allow to mount ntfs volumes with the 
uid/gid option set. KDE, by default, passes the uid option to hal, so 
mounting ntfs volumes from within KDE fails.
The fix is a rather low impact, two line, fix.
