Severity: wishlist
Hi.
Is there any reason, why ntpdate-debian (which makes use of /etc/defaults/ntpdate),
is not shipped directly as ntpdate (and this in turn e.g. as ntpdate.contrib or so)?
IMO that would be much more convenient.
One could then change the default of NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF to no, so that
ntpdate behaves per default like upstream.
Or make this configurable via debconf.
Cheers,
Chris.
