I was building upstream ntp as-is having --with-sntp=no as debian/rules does.
And just as I assumed, the old 4.2.6 build "ignored" the "--with-sntp=no" and
built it anyway.
While the new one follows the order.
This was changed way back in:

Attempt typical subpackage approach for libevent
sntp test cleanup
But this is just where 4.2.7/4.2.8 development started which is why it
is different in 4.2.6 as in Trusty/Jessie.

Title:
sntp missing
Status in NTP:
Unknown
Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
In Ubuntu 16.04, the binary file /usr/bin/sntp is missing from the
package ntp. The associated man page /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz is
still included.
How to reproduce:
$ sudo apt-get install ntp
$ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp
/usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz
Expected result:
/usr/bin/sntp was included in Ubuntu 14.04:
$ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp
/usr/bin/sntp
/usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz
The sntp program remains a very useful tool for interactively testing
on the command line the offset of the local clock to a remote NTP
server (like "ntpdate -qu [ntp-server]" previously). It should be
included in the same package as its man page.
