That patch is certainly wrong.  Why would ntp.conf be executable?

Anyway, it's fixed already for the next version.

I had this problem too; it actually caused my ppp0 interface to fail to
start on boot (although that is most likely specific to my local settings!).

Anyway, It's easy to solve, with a minor edit to /etc/default/ntpdate
and I've included a patch to do this (ntpdate.default.patch).

I've also included a patch to fix this in the source package
(ntpdate.srcpkg.patch).

Hope this helps,
Jack
