Hrm, I just filed a bug about this under the "ntp" package: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246314
Note that the ntp package DOES come with dhclient-exit-hooks.d scripts to turn on/off NTP servers at appropriate times. As this bug mentions, all that's missing are the entries in dhclient.conf... without which those scripts are useless. In my bug I suggested that the nis package should update the list of requested options, but in retrospect that seems difficult to do since that file is owned by the dhcp3-client package and there's no defined way to update it via dpkg config scripts as far as I know. So, maybe the right answer is indeed to change the default dhclient.conf file to request this by default. BTW, Daniel, is it really necessary to have a "default" entry here? Why not just request this value, and then if the DHCP server doesn't provide it nothing will happen and the default will be used.
