[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#479015: ntp: Impossible to activage debug mode

[Jerome Alet]

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


Either ntpd's manual page is incorrect, or ntpd is buggy.

When specifying either -D or -d on ntpd's command line,
the help is displayed and neither -d nor -D is shown to
be part of the help message.

It's just like if the manual page didn't match the executable.
