Well that explains the date.  I completely forgot about downloading the
source package (not the source tarball) from the repository and
rebuilding the .deb locally.  I had to do a disk search when you
mentioned that just in case.  Sure enough:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1143702 Aug  9 01:30 ntp-doc_4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2_all.deb

And it has the same date as the compiled binary.
