Please add those in comments to the /etc/default/ntop file.

It's better to document them in /etc/default/ntop and tell what to do.

It's not clear by reading /etc/init.d/ntop. This is how
/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server for example does it:
# Number of servers to start up
RPCNFSDCOUNT=8
# Runtime priority of server (see nice(1))
RPCNFSDPRIORITY=0
# Options for rpc.mountd.
# If you have a port-based firewall, you might want to set up
# a fixed port here using the --port option. For more information,
# see rpc.mountd(8) or http://wiki.debian.org/?SecuringNFS
RPCMOUNTDOPTS=
# Do you want to start the svcgssd daemon? It is only required for Kerberos
# exports. Valid alternatives are "yes" and "no"; the default is "no".
NEED_SVCGSSD=
# Options for rpc.svcgssd.
RPCSVCGSSDOPTS=
