It seems to work OK in 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-3 (at least in my limited test environment -- I don't use dial-up, for example)
While looking over the code, I had a couple of thoughts...1) Wouldn't it be a good idea to include the "dynamic" option in the synthesized "server" lines inserted into ntp.conf.dhcp ?
2) There ought to be some way to keep a "server" line in ntp.conf from getting deleted. E.g. for a stratum=0 time source. I suggest the string "# sticky" appearing as a comment.
I've attached a patch file that implements both of these. Enjoy! Rick
