[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#408219: ntpd giving up on eth0 before it is initialized

Hello.

I am wondering if the problem is just that the script
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/ntp is in the wrong
place. It should really be in the dhclient-exit-hooks.d
directory so that the script is run after dhcp has
completed initialization of the network instead of before.
Making this change seems to work over here. When I run
the command ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0
 ntp now restarts and sees its peers as reachable and
then begins to run correctly.
