[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#635752: ntp: Please include systemd service file

[Juberg, Thomas]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-5
Followup-For: Bug #635752

Dear Maintainer,

We are using saltstack to deploy our debian servers, during which we also have a formula that installs ntp on all systems, enables it and checks if it needs a restart due to changes in configuration files.

As part of this, saltstack runs
'systemctrl is-enabled ntp.service' 
which on debian results in the error:
Failed to get unit file state for ntp.service: No such file or directory

expected output would be: enabled

This is a rather minor, yet annoying issue.

Given that Jessie introduces systemd as default, it would be nice if this could be resolved.

Regards,
Thomas
