[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#422347: can't get ntpq without ntpd

[Josip Rodin]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-2

Hi,

For some reason, upgrading my ntp package (along with etch) brought on
the ntp daemon and started it.

I had the ntp package because I wanted the ntpq utility; I did not want
another daemon, and I most certainly didn't want one that listens to
the world, binding to all IP addresses!

The changelog says:

 * Merged ntp, ntp-server, ntp-simple, ntp-refclock into single package ntp
     (closes: #222369, #343131, #377578)

However, none of those bug reports ask for the merging of server+client
packages, they all point out that the various server packages are separated
oddly. Nobody asked for the client programs to be merged with the server
programs.

Please fix this more sensibly, because opening another port when people may
have legitimately wanted just the client utilities is a Bad Idea(TM).
TIA.
