Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.2+dfsg.2-3
Severity: wishlist
/etc/default/ntpdate tries to read /etc/ntp.conf. I believe that this
should be done from the startup script insted of /etc/default/ntpdate.
The current approach requires most users to update their
/etc/default/ntpdate after some upgrades.
I suggest that /etc/default/ntpdate contains the NTPSERVERS and
NTPOPTIONS options only and leave the /etc/init.d/ntpdate to decided whether
the /etc/ntp.conf should be read and how.
IOW, I suggest moving the 'if' blocks to /etc/init.d/ntpdate, even the
default ones, and check for an empty 'NTPSERVERS' in /etc/init.d/ntpdate
and act as needed. This will leave /etc/default/ntpdate with user
configuration options only.
