    Sounds like a fine place for me. As long as you don't move ntp.conf, I
    don't think people are going to notice, and other platforms have /etc/ntp
    already.

    A heads-up for the import in general is probably warranted. NTP can break
    in strange and unusual ways and it can be hard to notice :)
