[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#498992: ntp: Proposed patch

[Tim Small]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-8
Followup-For: Bug #498992

The attached seems to be working on my servers.  This change makes
"kernel time sync disabled" a legitimate message.  If that's not wanted,
then "disabled" should be retained in the regex (personally, I want to
know if that's happened, others may not want to know - depends on their
network connectivity I'd guess.

Either way, the most important thing is to shut up about the status
changes ;o).

Tim.
