Bug#239487: ntp-server: Please write useful changelogs

Package: ntp-server
Followup-For: Bug #239487

Hi,
* The "I forgot to turn my brain on" release. Closes: #239487

is a useless changelog entry.
I hope that the package actually doesn't contain your brain.

Please denote _changes_ in the changelog. For example
* Fixed preinst scripts (closes: #239487)

right-aligning "closes" messages might appear pretty when you have 80
chars wide screens; but that is an assumption you can't rely on.
Layouting the changelogs on the screen is something your changelog
viewer should do, not the author of the changelog.

SCNR.
Erich
