Note that this new version depends on
http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/81585/ which provides the
packaging of ntp's home directory, which wasn't captured into
master-next. That would be obscured by the presence of the previous
version of this patch which (IMO) improperly uses volatile to create
that directory.
