Thanks. I'm going to upload your patch. I think the approach on the
Debian bug is probably a bit better - make sure the file can't get (too)
stale in the first place by putting it somewhere which will be cleaned
out on reboot. But this one probably is less error prone given that
we're close to wily release now.

Anyway. It'll get put into a review queue for someone to look at. If
they disagree that this is a good idea it might get rejected. Just a
warning.

Title:
  ntpd can use stale /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp config

Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ntp package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Today, I noticed that my laptop's time was ~4s ahead of my home NTP
  server. Looking at 'ntpdc -sn localhost' I noticed that my laptop was
  trying to sync with an unknown and unreachable server. Surprisingly,
  this server was not in /etc/ntp.conf.

  After some debugging, I found a stale /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp file
  that was several days old. This explains why my clock drift so much as
  I was not sync'ing with any reachable server.
