Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

        According to policy, every executable should have a manual page,
 and not having one is a bug. I did not see this in the list of bugs, so
 I am reporting this.

        ntpq seems like a nice status/query command, and it would be
 nice if it were documented.
