Hi. At a recent debian-cloud sprint, we made the choice to switch from ntpd to chrony for our cloud images. As some of the cloud providers offer their own local NTP services, we'd like the ability to specify an entry for such a source in the default images for a given service. As such, I'd like to ask on behalf of the cloud team that you reconsider providing a debconf option to select a time source. I'm happy to send patches if that'll help. My suggestion would be to maintain the current pool.ntp.org entry as the default, and offer a debconf option to override this value at debconf's low priority so it won't bother most people installing the package. See, for example, the following docs about the AWS NTP service, https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/introducing-the-amazon-time-sync-service/ and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/set-time.html#configure-amazon-time-service Thanks noah
