Title:
  sntp missing

Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in ntp package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 16.04, the binary file /usr/bin/sntp is missing from the
  package ntp. The associated man page /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz is
  still included.

  How to reproduce:

  $ sudo apt-get install ntp
  $ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp
  /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz

  Expected result:

  /usr/bin/sntp was included in Ubuntu 14.04:

  $ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp
  /usr/bin/sntp
  /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz

  The sntp program remains a very useful tool for interactively testing
  on the command line the offset of the local clock to a remote NTP
  server (like "ntpdate -qu [ntp-server]" previously). It should be
  included in the same package as its man page.
