[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#852946: Packaging should use the 'debian' location file

[Daniel Silverstone]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.8p9+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

NTP has a mechanism it calls 'location files' for deciding where binaries and
manual pages go.  The Debian packaging should force the use of the 'debian'
location file, and then either update the packaging to not need to move
binaries and manpages around, or patch the debian location file to put the
binaries and manpages in the specific locations preferred by Debian.

This should probably not be actioned until after Stretch is released but should
be done before Buster is released.

Thanks,

Daniel.
