I don't think allowing iana-etc to install /etc/services and /etc/protocols is
going to work. The best idea I can see is:

- Make iana-etc install into a different location (/etc/services.iana or
/usr/share/iana-etc/services or something, and the same for protocols). If
users want these versions as the main versions then they would need to manually
copy them.

- Mark /etc/services and /etc/protocols as config files in netbase, so changes
won't be lost during upgrades and since you are meant to be able to make local
changes to these files. And if the use has replaced them with the iana versions
they won't be lost.

- Add whatever entry is needed by ntpdate to the services file in netbase.
Apparently this is what the original problem.
