Fixed in 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu1, but I missed that pps-tools is in
universe when sponsoring, so it's stuck in dep-wait right now. We need
to look into whether we want to MIR pps-tools, or if pps-tools is not
needed at runtime, or if there is some way to build NTP with PPS support
without pps-tools. At a cursory glance it looks like it's a build time
dependency for headers only, in which case the current proposal to not
require build deps to be in main may resolve this.

Title:
  Please enable PPS in the Ubuntu build of ntpd

Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  NTPD includes a reference clock driver called "pps" which uses a
  modern kernel mechanism for pulse-per-second devices for very accurate
  timekeeping. PPS is particularly useful for anybody building a stratum
  0 GPS-disciplined time server. Please could we enable the PPS driver
  in Ubuntu's build of NTP?

  Thanks,
  Mark
