Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3+b1

Hi,
debugging a rather old issue I realized that the changes made back when
uploading 4.2.6+dfsg-1 might no more completely apply.

I quote from the changelog in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498992:
"* Remove ntp.logcheck.ignore.server, none of those messages are send to
syslog now.  (Closes: #498992)"

But I had to find that this today still (?again?) happens.
So much could have been changed on how the log data flows.

But testing is rather easy:
apt-get install logcheck
apt-get install ntp
service ntp restart

Then logcheck will report about everything from ntp:
sudo -u logcheck logcheck -s -o -t | grep ntp | wc -l
41

Is the solution "just" to bring back the old logcheck ignore file - I don't
know?

Note: tested on sid.
