Thank you for identifying this. I agree it makes sense to fix it in
Xenial. Though I wonder about how the change might adversely impact
existing users.

For example, if a DHCP user is receiving a broken set of NTP servers
that doesn't work, currently his NTP won't be broken because the default
set will be used

But with this fixed, the default set will stop being used, and his NTP
will appear to break. Though the root cause is that his DHCP or network
was misconfigured, it would be the SRU that causes the problem to
emerge.

In principle I think this is OK, but we should point it out in
"Regression Potential", and I appreciate more opinions.
