[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#498992: ntp: logcheck sends "kernel time sync status change 0001" (and 4001) notifications every 30-40 minutes

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-7
Severity: minor


What does these log entries mean?

If they are not important, then

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ ntpd\[[0-9]+\]: kernel time sync (disabled|enabled) [0-9]+$

should be changed to

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ ntpd\[[0-9]+\]: kernel time sync (disabled|enabled|status change) [0-9]+$

in /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/ntp.

Now I have to do this by myself to suppress a flood of notifications from logcheck.
