Many thanks for that feedback and guidance. In parallel with working on the suggested changes, I wanted to understand the right approach we should take to fixing this bug.
From your comment in #1 "It can't hurt to discuss with Debian but it's highly doubtful they'll take our delta", would it be reasonable to assume that, as Ubuntu has already branched the chrony config associated with NTP pools away from Debian, we should attempt to land this bug fix to the NTP pools config directly into Ubuntu?
