Bug#1003931: systemd-timesyncd: please set default NTP servers in stock configuration

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Package: systemd-timesyncd
Version: 250.2-3
Severity: important

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

The stock configuration file that ships with systemd-timesyncd has all options commented out. Additionally, it doesn't set any default NTP server. This essentially means that Debian ships a package that will not sync to anything by default.

What currently ships:

[Time]
#NTP=
#FallbackNTP=0.debian.pool.ntp.org 1.debian.pool.ntp.org 2.debian.pool.ntp.org 3.debian.pool.ntp.org
#RootDistanceMaxSec=5
#PollIntervalMinSec=32
#PollIntervalMaxSec=2048
#SaveIntervalSec=60

What's expected:

[Time]
NTP=0.debian.pool.ntp.org 1.debian.pool.ntp.org
#FallbackNTP=2.debian.pool.ntp.org 3.debian.pool.ntp.org
#RootDistanceMaxSec=5
#PollIntervalMinSec=32
#PollIntervalMaxSec=2048
#SaveIntervalSec=60

... or something similar that would have a default list of NTP servers enabled in the stock configuration.
