I don't use ntp.conf, I set the ntp servers addresses in "NTPSERVERS" option in
/etc/default/ntpdate. I saw today that after a whole day my host got
synchronized, that's the reason I still like my old ntpdate/cron scheme. Once I
set it, I get synchronization right away. I could do this by stopping ntpd or I
could use ntpd and before starting it do an old fashion "ntpdate
$local_net_ntpserver" in command line.

I've been using ntp since the '90s, and on Debian since sarge. FWIW I
also run an ntp pool server. I rarely use ntpdate other than as a very
quick comparison of clocks ("ntpdate -qu remote.ntp.server"), but usually
use ntpd. I prefer to tweak ntp.conf so that I have my own sources listed
either as servers or peers (depending on the situation, obviously).
Taking a quick look at ntpdate-debian it looks like it's one-off
synchronisation subject to all the failure modes of ntpdate itself. Is
there any particular reason why you want to use ntpdate(-debian) instead
of ntpd?
