Hmm, I did this on 9.3 a while ago.. The new file (fetched from
https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list) has version

#$	 3629404800

and as expiry date:

#@	3691872000

The old file (the copy of /etc/ntp/leap-seconds in /var/db/ntpd.leap-seconds.list)
has as version:

#$       3660508800

and as expiry date:

#@      3673728000

So the new file expires after the old file (which is good) but
its version is lower than the version of the old file. Since
/etc/rc.d/ntpd compares the versions it finally sticks with the
old file...
