As expected. You're using an ADSL gateway as DHCP server?

"HWaddr 00:05:5D:53:2B:A5" and "inet6 addr: fe80::205:5dff:fe53:2ba5"
No IPv6 configuration (the "fe80::<MAC>" address is the address IPv6 assigns when it has no address, sort of like 169.254/24 in IPv4 (see RFC3330))

No errors or anything else amiss....

Add "ntp-servers" to the dhclinet configuration file and re-acquire the lease ("/etc/init.d/network restart").
If the lease file still doesn't mention NTP then double check the DHCP server configuration.
If it does check the -exit-hook logs and ntp status ("ntpq -p") again.
