This doesn't make any sense to me. /etc/init.d/ntp-server should
have this in it (for start and restart):
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --pidfile
/var/run/ntpd.pid --startas /usr/sbin/ntpd -- -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -u $UGID
And that should work properly. You're missing both the -p and
-u. The -u sets the user and group id, and since you don't have
that you have a problem. The missing -p is probably the reason
why you might have several ones running.
Ok, I have downloaded ntp-server (with aptitude download) and then
extracted it with dpkg -X to a test directory. The files
/etc/init.d/ntp-server (the installed one) and the one comming with the
package are in fact different and the options required are missing. Here
is the diff output.

I tried to install the downloaded deb of ntp-server with some debugging turned
on. The bug is still present. Here you have the output. Hope it is useful. If
you need some more debug just tell me. I am not really into deb package that
much as to interpret the following. The file /etc/init.d/ntp-server stays the
same.
