[Bug 374896] Re: Servers specified in ntp.conf are not carried into ntp.conf.dhcp

It looks like the problem is either unresolved or worse now. The network
is providing an NTP server via DHCP (according to one of the leases in
/var/lib/dhcp3), but there is no ntp.conf.dhcp being created with this
information. Beyond that, looking at the "ntp" exit hook for DHCP, the
script is still removing all servers manually entered into ntp.conf when
it generates ntp.conf.dhcp.

The expected result would be that if you add your own servers to
ntp.conf, that they persist in ntp.conf.dhcp, in addition to the servers
provided by DHCP. It is very frustrating for a user to manually add
servers, only to have them be ignored. If you add servers, they should
remain.
