[c-nsp] NTP Debug options shortened

Did anyone else notice that the NTP debug options has gotten rather 
short lately in the 12.4T releases?

 From 24T2:

7206-1# debug ntp ?
   adjust    NTP clock adjustments
   all       NTP all debugging on
   core      NTP core messages
   events    NTP events
   packet    NTP packet debugging
   refclock  NTP refclock messages

 From 11T1:

7206-2# debug ntp ?
   adjust          NTP clock adjustments
   authentication  NTP authentication
   events          NTP events
   loopfilter      NTP loop filter
   packets         NTP packets
   params          NTP clock parameters
   refclock        NTP reference clocks
   select          NTP clock selection
   sync            NTP clock synchronization
   validity        NTP peer clock validity

Did they get renamed?  I've looked through the 'debug ?' several times 
and haven't had any luck finding them.  I really need to debug some NTP 
AUTH issues and am stuck without the debugs.  Seems like some important 
options have left the building.

BTW, to all who run NTP and are interested, the bug that was introduced 
20T1 and 24T that made the IOS NTP server treat NTP clients as peers 
including forcing clients through the peer access-group ACL was NOT 
fixed in 24T2 like the bug notes say.  I upgraded my NTP servers to 24T2 
last weekend (see list archive) and am now trying to undo all the temp 
config I put in place troubleshooting CSCsw79186.  My clients are still 
being treated as peers and are still matching my 'peer' access-group ACL 
instead of my 'serve' ACL.  I'm going to re-open the case with Cisco.
