Hi Cristian,
Thank you very much for bringing this patch to our attention. It is, indeed, quite interesting, and I, too, very much have an interest in the Ubuntu's server's energy efficiency.
There is an issue, here, though, in that ntp is an absolutely fundamental package found on most Ubuntu desktops and servers. The patch from Fedora, although vetted by Fedora users, is non-trivial. Quite the opposite, it's pretty involved and intricate. Given the nature of ntp in Ubuntu, I advise that we work with Debian on this issue. It would be best for both Debian and Ubuntu users to keep this package as close as possible between Debian/Ubuntu.
Cheers,
Dustin
