What's again using debconf with two low-priority questions:
(1) Use debconf to configure this package [yes]
(2) Your default ntp-server [pool.ntp.org]
This way, everyone can have what he wants.
(Or even drop the first question, and use the debconf result only if
the md5sum shows no alteration of the config file.)
Cheers,
Andi
