Also the "error" should be downgraded to a "warning" at least.
Didn't I do that?

Downgrade missing stats dir log severity
The Debian package does not create /var/log/ntpsec by default. The
admin is directed (by a comment in ntp.conf) to create it if and only
if they want logging. However, upstream ntpsec logs an error message
if the log directory does not exist.

[The commit message / patch description is my wording.]
One advantage of that is the ntpsec-ntpviz package can create that directory to enable logging, which is required for ntpviz to be useful. Otherwise, it would have to edit the config file, which is riskier.Well... for that conf.d style configs are usually used.
Yeah. ntpsec supports those _now_. (I don't know that it did at the time.) So maybe that's a better answer.
