[PATCH] bgo#449267 - Don't create empty NTP configuration files

[Colin Watson]

If /etc/ntp.conf (or the platform equivalent) doesn't exist, then merely
synchronising the clock in time-admin would create it as an empty file.
This caused other time syncing problems later (see e.g.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83604).
