[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#476888: ntp: Use /etc/ntp/ directory for configuration files (Version control support)

[root]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-3
Severity: wishlist


SUGGESTION: Easier VCS support

The NTP configuration is not stored at /etc/ntp.conf, which
unfortunately makes it difficult to put in in version control
separately, because Version Control Systems (VCS) operate on directory
basis.

Please consider moving the file to

       /etc/ntp/ntp.conf

which would allod versioning the directory

      /etc/ntp/

Separately from the rest of the /etc structure.
