I've uploaded the patch in comment #3 to xenial. I've also added some SRU bits to the description -- if either Robie or Philip could maybe add some test case steps, that would be swell. Thanks!
** Description changed: In 1:4.2.8p3+dfsg-1, the default config was changed to "Use pool instead of server". This needs a corresponding update to /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntp, since the DHCP specified servers now get added to the default pool config instead of replacing them. This affects Xenial only as the Yakkety build includes the upstream fix (1:4.2.8p7+dfsg-1). - Original Debian busg https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=809344 + Original Debian busg https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=809344 & https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806676 + + [Test Case] + + mterry isn't sure on this.
