Comment 22 for bug 1706818

@paelzer: Sorry for the delay - I was at a conference last week.

I've confirmed that the PPA version for xenial results in reliable restarts for ntpd. I tested 8 systems, 3 of which were updated to the new version from the PPA: the 3 upgraded VMs restarted reliably on each reboot, whilst 3 of the remaining VMs did not restart reliably (failing on 2/3 reboots), and the last 2 failed on 3/3 reboots.
