One comment on @philroche's patch: at present, there is no supported way to allow DHCP to augment (rather than replace) NTP servers in /etc/ntp.conf. The different handling of tabs & spaces is a known- useful workaround for those of us who wish to allow DHCP to specify additional servers, without removing those specified in /etc/ntp.conf. The patch would eliminate this option, and would allow only DHCP- specified servers OR /etc/ntp.conf servers, not both. Thus, my opinion is -1 for that patch as-is, and +1 for the upstream Debian version.

This needs a corresponding update to /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntp, since the DHCP specified servers now get added to the default pool config instead of replacing them. This affects Xenial only as the Yakkety build includes the upstream fix (1:4.2.8p7+dfsg-1).
