@aquina:
ntpd doesn't have to be shipped with a configuration that will launch it
as a daemon. It can easily be used to do ntpdate's job without
daemonizing.
Also, the ntpd binary is actually only around 2/3 the size of the
ntpdate binary, so I think you may be backwards on which one is bloated.
Rofl, thanks for looking into the situation and reversing course on this
bug.
I've can confirm what you've seen about ntpdate being deprecated and
ntpd recently receiving critical vulnerability fixes.

Oops, I meant it the other way around: ubuntu-minimal lists ntpdate as a
dependency, such that ubuntu-minimal is uninstalled if you try to
replace ntpdate with ntpd.

Huh? The only change was that I tried to raise it from the dead, and it
got smacked right back down into the wishlist bin :(

triaged:wishlist state, and this is one of them.
