My mistake here, sorry :-) Indeed, Debian stable kernel's config does 
not mention NTFS, so my question is off-topic in this mailing list.

For Linux Mint 20.3 LiveCD, kernel is 5.4.0-91.102 from Ubuntu, and its 
config mentions `CONFIG_NTFS=m`. Module is present in 
/lib/modules/5.4.0-91-generic/kernel/fs/. So I should be able to mount 
read-only with this driver, but don't know how.
