Bug Description
In Ubuntu 16.04, the binary file /usr/bin/sntp is missing from the package ntp. The associated man page /usr/share/
How to reproduce:
$ sudo apt-get install ntp
$ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp
/usr/share/
Expected result:
/usr/bin/sntp was included in Ubuntu 14.04:
$ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp
/usr/bin/sntp
/usr/share/
The sntp program remains a very useful tool for interactively testing on the command line the offset of the local clock to a remote NTP server (like "ntpdate -qu [ntp-server]" previously). It should be included in the same package as its man page.

sntp is not just a useful tool, it is essential for ntpsweep (included in the ntp pacakge).
