[Bug 83604] Re: ntpdate 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1ubuntu2 has a flawed configuration file.

[Colin Watson]

Mika, I'm dropping the debian/ntpdate.default part of your patch.  It's
correct, and I agree that all other things being equal this
documentation should be brought up to date, but it's going to be very
common to have modified the NTPSERVERS line that immediately follows it
(or to be upgrading a system where somebody else modified that line),
and changing that text would I think result in a lot of dpkg conffile
prompts.  I'd rather avoid that when it isn't strictly necessary.

While applying this patch, I'm also going to make ntp.preinst check for
an empty /etc/ntp.conf on fresh installation and remove it, to work
around this system-tools-backends bug.
