Several bugs and previous discussion show that the current package
structure does not make sense to very many people. I would suggest
that we merge together ntp, ntp-simple, ntp-server, ntp-refclock into a
single ntp package. This is what most people want to use anyway when
they think "let's install ntp" or "apt-get install ntp". The use case
for having a separate ntp-{clients|tools} containing just a few
programs from the current ntp package does not seem to be significant
(and, if I understood this right, it was never the intent of the
package split to have a separate tools package).
So eventually we'd end up with these packages:
ntp
ntp-doc
ntpdate
ntpdate-udeb
Comments?
