Currently, the ntp manpages reside in dorphell's home directory. This isn't the greatest of ideas, and we should find a better way of getting these man pages installed on our system. In addition, several important manpages such as ntp.conf(5) are not even included.

Debian has some manpages in their rather large patch diff which were transcribed from the HTML documentation from the NTP package and are more recent than ours. This would be one possibility. Looking at the package itself, it also includes manpages that need some variable substitution.
This task depends upon
