Hi,
I just came over this long dormant bug in Ubuntu and I saw it was just as
that in Debian.
IMHO the patch still makes sense, it also still applies.
And I see no reason to not just fix this in Debian first.

It reads a bit weird as /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp could be checked twice
if NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF is set. But that could be solved by moving the new
section down after the check of local files.
This also allows for a default.dhcp that does not specify NTPSERVERS to
fall back to the local config.

A patch with these small modifications would look like this:
