You can make it honor them, with a little work. You have to make a
dhclient.conf file with the appropriate "request" statement to ask
for the "ntp-servers" option. You also have to make a
dhclient-exit-hooks script to generate the ntp.conf file. It's a
PITA. I agree with you that support for this should be standard.
