[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#851096: update-leap tries to fetch https:// using a module without HTTPS support

[Anthony DeRobertis]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.8p9+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/update-leap

It seems update-leap is just broken, with the default options, because
it attempts to use File::Fetch to grab an https:// URL, but File::Fetch
doesn't support https:// URLs.

Note that newer version of File::Fetch (apparently, starting in 0.50,
from August 2016) supports https:// but Debian doesn't have that
version, at least in testing.
