I played a bit with ntpsec some time ago, I remember being very pleased with it, and I think it can very well replace ntp in Bookworm. The incompatible changes [1] are not blockers IMHO, provided that they're documented. I'd prefer making ntp a dummy package depending on ntpsec rather than having src:ntpsec takeover bin:ntp. A dummy package will allow us to easily switch back to ntp from ntp.org if needed, and to document the incompatible changes in NEWS.Debian.
