Bug#764546: ntp: Init script returns 5 if the daemon is not executable

Sysvinit never checked scripts return status, so no wonder it didn't catch on. Which means that if ntp has been removed but not purged, the ntp script will fail at boot. With systemd actually checking the return code of init scripts, this results in the system being flagged as not correctly booted. Hmm, is that something that should be fixed in jessie then? Not sure if a fix would be acceptable now. You'd have to ask the release team, but given the late date and the minority of the bug I wouldn't have high hopes. (Other packages might be affected.) Probably, but ntp happened to be installed on my computer ;)
