Bug description:
Binary package hint: ntp
Given that 'ntpdate' is being obsoleted upstream [1], we should
replace 'ntpdate' usage by:
* ntpd -qg (if we really want to set the time and exit), or
* ntpd-g (if we want to keep ntpd running)
the '-q' option will set the clock once, and exit; the 'g' allows for
large corrections to the clock, like what is done by 'ntpdate'.
