After I send the report, I noticed that /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp is not used in /etc/init.d/ntp but /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp. But the latter file existed too and in essence the situation is the same. Probably /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp is left-over from older ntp version (this computer is continously upgraded since sarge times). That's why I retitled the bug and the original report should be read as s,/etc/ntp.conf.dhcp,/var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp/s.
I'm using NetworkManager with automatic interface up and I've just tested the following scenario: touch /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp, down interface (via NetworkManager GNOME applet), up IF, down IF--and the file is still there. /var/log/syslog shows that on IF up dhclient is used but no trace of dhclient when IF down. I don't know when dhclient-script is supposed to be used but in my configuration (NetworkManager automatically manages eth0), it seems this exit hook is never called.
