One workaround is to add a tab in front of your server/peer lines.
This prevents the above-quoted regex from matching.

Title:
  Servers specified in ntp.conf are not carried into ntp.conf.dhcp

Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ntp

  By default, ntpd starts up reading /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp; if that file
  does not exist, /etc/ntp.conf is read instead. According to
  ntp.conf.dhcp, the file is generated based on ntp.conf after any DHCP
  event occurs. The problem is that, according to the man page, you may
  specify servers in ntp.conf, but the DHCP hook to generate
  ntp.conf.dhcp specifically filters out any servers/peers that you
  specify in ntp.conf. Here is a patch for /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-
  hooks.d/ntp to fix the problem:

  === Beginning of patch ===

  *** ntp.old     2009-05-11 09:40:11.000000000 -0400
  --- ntp 2009-05-11 09:40:23.000000000 -0400

                  echo "server $server iburst"
            done
            echo
  !         sed -r -e '/^ *(server|peer).*$/d' $NTP_CONF
          ) >>$tmp

          mv $tmp $NTP_DHCP_CONF
  --- 40,46 ----
                  echo "server $server iburst"
            done
            echo
  !         cat $NTP_CONF
          ) >>$tmp

          mv $tmp $NTP_DHCP_CONF

  === End of patch ===

  Ubuntu release: 9.04
  Package version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-7ubuntu5
  Expected behavior: When a DHCP event happens, ntp.conf.dhcp is regenerated including any servers specified in ntp.conf
  Actual behavior: When a DHCP event happens, ntp.conf.dhcp is regenerated using only the servers found in the DHCP data, filtering out all server/peer lines from ntp.conf
