"Broken" as designed :-(

For whatever reason, /etc/periodic/daily/480.leapfile-ntpd enters the
check phase on every invocation (daily), sleeps some random time less
than one day (if "avoid_congestion" true) and then decides that the file
is too young to replace (the current file expires June 1st, 2017). Logs
that to syslog .. rinse and repeat .. every day .. <sigh>
