Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.2+dfsg.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #387889
I just spent a while tracking down the source of this bug, only to
find it was already reported. I saw the error message from sed at
boot time - I wasn't running ifup manually, so it's less than obvious
which script is causing the error message.
Here's a patch to fix it:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although maybe it would be better to explicitly check that
/etc/ntp.conf exists and is readable rather than just redirecting the
error to /dev/null.
