It's somewhat - ähemm - strange IMHO that the casing is an app-specific
feature (and not filesystem specific).
And it is really that implemented that the app can choose in what way
the filesystem below - given that it supports that feature - compares
two filenames?

It's in recent Fedoras so Ubuntu is perhaps just late. And FWIW, it' 2
packages too as the second one is the .lzma support (so probably Debian
should be able to fix the clash with whatever the current lzma package
is).
