Dear Maintainer,

as a partial solution to the split request please move the python scripts
/usr/bin/{ntpq,ntpmon,ntptrace} from ntpsec to the python3-ntp package.
They need the ntp python library anyway and the size is neglectible.
And the ntpsec package depends on the python3-ntp package,
so they will be installed anyway.

These client tools are usable by itself, so there is no need for the deamon
running (or to disable other time services).

Thanks and greetings
  Hermann
