[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#427634: ntp: -d/-D option of manpage not supported

[Torsten Neumann]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.2+dfsg.2-2
Severity: important


lin036:~# /usr/sbin/ntpd -d   
ntpd not compiled with -DDEBUG option - no DEBUG support
usage: /usr/sbin/ntpd [ -46abdgnqx ] [ -c config_file ]
                [ -f drift_file ] [ -k key_file ] [ -l log_file ]
                [ -p pid_file ] [ -r broadcast_delay ] [ -s stats_dir ]
                [ -t trusted_key ] [ -v sys_var ] [ -V default_sysvar ]
                [ -L [ interface ] ]
                [ -P fixed_process_priority ]
                [ -u user[:group] ] [ -i jaildir ]

Option is described in manpage and neccesary to track down problems.
Same error message for -D option.

Regards
  Torsten
