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.
