Based on the conversations upstream, I'd say that rlimit memlock 0
should be the default in debian, not something that needs to be added to
working configs. (It appears that beyond the startup issue, it's fairly
common for running ntpd's to crash with out-of-memory errors when using
memlock. The feature is fairly useless for leaf nodes, and actual
high-precision servers probably don't want to randomly die at least as
much as they want a theoretical performance increase.) If someone really
wants this, they can turn it on.
