Dear <deity>, don't do that! It is a major abuse of the ntp servers,
and it doesn't even work well as your logs clearly show..., so it is
not like you're getting anything out of it.
Please just use the four "debian.pool" servers, OR do a proper custom
setup using *three* servers close to you network-wise (and with low
jitter), and for which you have permission to connect.
ntp works best with three to six upstream servers, and an end-user
workstation has no business using more than three.
