You don't need ntfsdoc, but can install that if you want.

All ntfs-3g stuff are in Universe I beleive, so then you don't need to enable Multiverse.

You can search for "ntfs" and mark these: libntfs-3g0, ntfs-3g, ntfs-config, and everything extra the system suggests based on these three. You may also install ntfsprogs if you want.

Why do you remove Evolution?

The rest looks Ok (from what I can remember just now).

Note: If anyone else uses James' list as a recipe for installing ntfs-3g, they should know that the last bit in NTFS Configuration Tool varies and depends on your disk(s) and Windows partition(s).
