This chronyd daemon configuration-reading
bug (/etc/chrony/chrony.conf) occurs ONLY when
using ALL of the following:

* dhclient (ISC DHCP client)
* chrony (Chrony NTP time server)
* apparmor (Application Armor)

WHAT DID I DO?

I merely installed the following those 3 packages:

apt install isc-dhcp-client chrony apparmor

The NTP server IP address(es) supplied by
a (remote) DHCP server gets written
into /var/lib/dhcp/chrony.server.eth1 file
and later read by chronyd daemon at startup.

OUTCOME

AppArmor reported that a file permission error
while chronyd daemon was reading the
/var/lib/dhcp/chrony.server.eth1 file.

WORKAROUND

Adding the following two files into /etc/apparmor.d/local
fixes this problem.

/etc/apparmor.d/local/sbin.dhclient.chronyd

    /var/lib/dhcp/chrony.server.* wrix,

/etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.chronyd.dhclient

    /var/lib/dhcp/chrony.server.* r,

then reload the AppArmor

    /etc/init.d/apparmor reload
    ifdown eth1
    ifup eth1
    ip addr list eth1

CONCLUSION

Ideally, two things probably needs to happen:

1.  Move (yet NOT append, but kept separate) those local 
    (but inter-package-related) apparmor files out of
    the local subdirectory and into the corresponding main 
    AppArmor config direcetory found in the 
    /etc/apparmor.d/ subdirectory

2.  During Debian post install scripting, some kind of
    dependency logic is required to do both removal and
    addition of those two AppArmor files depending on:

    A.  Both chrony and isc-dhcp-client are installed: install
        these two AppArmor files.

    B.  Only chrony are installed: check if isc-dhcp-client
        package is not installed, then remove the two AppArmor 
        inter-package-specific files.

    C.  Only isc-dhcp-client are installed: check if chrony
        package is not installed, then remove the two
        AppArmor inter-package files.

    D.  If 'apt purge' is used, always purge these two files.

Since chronyd is on the receiving end of this NTP
server IP address information, it would make more sense
to place the isc-dhcp-client/chrony inter-package
dependency logic inside the chrony package (unless
there is some grander Debian design of handling
AppArmor that I am not aware of).

Version: 4.0~pre4-1

Chrony now saves NTP servers configured over DHCP to /run/chrony-dhcp/$interface.sources.
I believe that resolves this issue.

Closing.
