} Is this so? At least on etch, the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-script ends with 
} the line
} exit_with_hooks 0
} and on my system, exit hooks seems to run at startup time. It seems 
} correct to run ntp_servers_setup_add at exit hook time, and possibly 
} keep ntp_servers_setup_remove running at enter hook time.

I perhaps re-posted a bit hastily. After moving the script and
rerunning ifdown/up it worked as expected, but then I tested
rebooting the machine too, and for some reason it didn't get
run. Since then it has been run every time.

So my original suggestion is fine and please ignore the re-post :-)
