Dear Maintainer, after upgrading ntpsec to 1.2.2+dfsg1-1+deb12u1, the behaviour is slightly different:

Feel free to tell me how I can assist in tracking the issue down. To be clear, I am happy the number of servers is no longer 18, but confusion does remain as to how exactly the "pool" directive works.
