Bug#593429: openntpd removal from squeeze

[Dererk]

Hi there.

Well, basically, when I've the chance to test the patch, It simple
wasn't working when the clock was drifted away longer than a few minutes
(I couldn't establish that value).
I've give it a quick look and the patch appears to be the same.

# strace -o ntpd.strace -f -s 1024 openntpd -d -f /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf
ntp engine ready

Although It appears to be working with shorter diversions, I'll try to
see if Darren (portable openntp respontable) is able to see the catch,
and I'll push the patch to experimental for further testing.

Cheers,

Dererk
