I don't like that, because it requires extra intervention, where no such
intervention was necessary in oldstable, and it really should not be
necessary, because it's really a BCP to separate server and client
software in different packages. Obviously the case for separation is
stronger for obvious applications such as DNS clients and servers,
SMTP clients and servers, HTTP clients and servers, ... but I see no
reason why to switch to a different model for NTP clients and servers.
