[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#438728: ntp does not support "dynamic" option in /etc/ntp.conf

[James Wiseper]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-2
Severity: important


After changing servers in /etc/ntp.conf I got falue message in /var/log/syslog

/var/log/syslog
	Aug 19 04:19:35 gate ntpd[3947]: configure: keyword "dynamic" unknown, line ignored
	Aug 19 04:19:35 gate last message repeated 2 times
	Aug 19 04:19:35 gate ntpd[3947]: getaddrinfo: "::1" invalid host address, ignored

/etc/ntp.conf
	server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org     iburst dynamic
	server 1.europe.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic
	server 0.europe.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic

I guess that the ntp package from Debian Etch does not support "dynamic" option.
This is strange that the "dynamic" option is used by default.
