  But what makes you think a configuration file would unify the way
distributions run busybox ntpd more than the current command-line
arguments do ? It would certainly cater to your use case, and certainly
not to others.

  Again: packagers will repackage - right or wrong, that's what they do -
and not give a flying duck about your dream of unified ntpd scripts.
All Busybox can do is provide sensible interfaces and do its job of
being small, and all you can do is use it and work with it in the way
you like best.
