The ntpdate package nowadays merely is a transitional package. Keeping it no 
longer serves a purpose.

Meanwhile, the Hurd port still depends on the original University of Delaware 
NTP implementation that provided ntpdate. Since that codebase is now obsolete, 
the plan would be to re-introduce ntpdate as a wrapper for rdate that can be 
launched upon bootup the same way the original ntpdate did.

Once ntpsec has dropped its ntpdate transitional package, the new wrapper could 
be introduced with the next rdate upload.

Thanks!
