Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

I noticed I was getting syntax errors in syslog related to this option, and
upon further investigation, I found that the option is really and truly gone
according to the ChangeLog in the source, and looking at ntp_parser.y, it
really really is gone.  So it should be removed from the man page.
