[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#524035: /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp file is dynamic, should live in /var

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p6+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
File: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/ntp

Changes to /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp are not preserved and the package is
thus in violation of the Debian Policy. Since the file is
dynamically generated, it should live in /var/lib/ntp or
/var/cache/ntp.
