Title:
  Add mount options "uid=<value>" and "windows_names" in fstab for NTFS
  partitions by default during Ubuntu installation

Status in partman-partitioning package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  By default after Ubuntu installation, permanently-mounted NTFS partitions don't allow files to be moved to the Rubbish Bin. They have to be permanently deleted.
  "uid=xxxx" sets the owner of files and directories so that the NTFS partition could create a ".Trash-xxxx" directory and the user could move files to the Rubbish Bin easily. The uid could be of the first user.

  "windows_names" prevents files, directories and extended attributes to
  be created with a name not allowed by Windows. This is helpful in dual
  boot with Windows.

  Also, there are "hide_hid_files" and "hide_dot_files" which are useful in dual boot with Windows.
  A summary of the options that ntfs-3g accepts http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-manual/#6.

  The line in fstab would be:
  UUID=<value>   /<mount_point>   ntfs-3g   defaults,uid=<value>,windows_names,locale=<locale>   0   0
