Is the only change in this patch that we build ntp with the new patch
file? And the rest of it is changes to indentation? Or are there other
changes too?

Yes I only added the patch to fix the crash (it's a typo where ep should be ep2) and ran `guix style ntp` on it.

Here’s the upstream bug(s): 
https://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3928 
https://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3968

I think this patch is fine, we might also consider rolling back to 
4.2.8p17.

Applied, with a reference to <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/76401> too.
