[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#444370: ntp won't reconfigure (ntp group gone)

[Peter Chubb]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p3+dfsg-1

I upgraded Debian Unstable (with apt-get upgrade).  The base-passwd
package removed the ntp group, and then the ntp package wouldn't
install because it expects the ntp group to be present.
