Just dropping the --with-sntp=no would have been too easy (thanks Murphy).
It runs into build issues.

I was able to track those down to one of the build deps in combination
with no more disabling sntp causing this => autogen.

But then removing autogen build dep is not a "solution" - especially not one 
thinking of an SRU later. As it might cause all kind of changed behavior.
The other way is to remove --disable-local-libopts as well, but that change as 
well could cause anything without knowing the code.

I'll open an upstream bug to discuss and let the Debian bug know as
well.

Title:
  sntp missing

Status in NTP:
  New
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.
