[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#411200: ntpdate: Still uses dhcp-provided
servers after dhcp stops

Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The dhcp script for ntpdate only removes the dhcp-configured servers on
lease expiry or failure to acquire a lease; it leaves them there if the
dhcp service is stopped or the lease is explicitly released. This means
that when I go from being connected via DHCP to being connected by a
static configuration, /etc/default/ntpdate.dhcp is never removed and it
doesn't revert back to using the servers specified in
/etc/default/ntpdate. The change is simple if you think this is a
desirable fix:
