I don't know how this was lost in between Debian versions, but it happened.
Since Ubuntu already merged the latest ntp we have to push that as delta for now - the respective debian bug is already updated.
I have prepped a fix for yakkety (which will should eventually also go via SRU into Xenial).
I tested the fix on Yakkety already and it works just fine.
While we are past FF, this clearly is a bugfix-only change.

Attaching debdiff and subscribing sponsors.
Once in Yakkety we can tackle the SRU for Xenial.
