[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#246947: ntp-simple should not listen to every single interface + INADDR_ANY

[Sam Morris]

ntpd seems to have gained an -I option to tell it to listen on a
particular interface. However my testing indicates that it does not
work:

# /usr/sbin/ntpd -n -I wlan1 -L -l /dev/stderr
 9 Sep 11:52:53 ntpd[26406]: logging to file /dev/stderr
 9 Sep 11:52:53 ntpd[26406]: precision = 1.000 usec
 9 Sep 11:52:53 ntpd[26406]: Listening on interface #0 wildcard, 0.0.0.0#123 Disabled
 9 Sep 11:52:53 ntpd[26406]: Listening on interface #1 wildcard, ::#123 Disabled
 9 Sep 11:52:53 ntpd[26406]: Listening on interface #2 lo, ::1#123 Enabled
 9 Sep 11:52:53 ntpd[26406]: Listening on interface #3 wlan1, fe80::204:e2ff:fea9:9d35#123 Enabled
