[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#793837: ntp: Please include sntp in the ntp package

[douglas calvert]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.8p3+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please include sntp in the ntp package. ntpdate is going the way of the dodo very soon.
sntp is a useful diagnostic tool. I am not sure why it has been decided that sntp should not be in the debian package.
