Package: ntpsec
Version: 1.2.1+dfsg1-7+b1
When package ntp is installed (from long history), the ntp daemon is
started by this /etc/init.d/ntp which uses user ntp:ntp. So all
auxiliary directories and files are owned by ntp:ntp.
When ntpsec starts to start the same daemon with ntpsec:ntpsec (which is
counter expected) the ntp daemon is not running properly and more over,
it is creating/changing some file rights so neither daemon is running
properly afterwards.
Even better would be to drop that ntpsec:ntpsec user fully and use
ntp:ntp as this would be the expected user a ntp is running under.
And please, don't conflict for ntp package as usually ntp is managed by
configuration management which is depending on ntp init script named
ntp. Nobody would expect init script ntpsec!
