On Debian, systemd Recommends systemd-timesyncd or time-daemon. Packages currently providing time-daemon: chrony - Versatile implementation of the Network Time Protocol ntp - Network Time Protocol daemon and utility programs ntpsec - Network Time Protocol daemon and utility programs openntpd - OpenBSD NTP daemon systemd-timesyncd - minimalistic service to synchronize local time with NTP servers Nonetheless dhcpcd's configure script tests for whatever NTP service is currently running on the build host and enables matching hooks. Works well for building host-specific binaries, but is obviously not flexible enough for a software distribution to anticipate for any of the above options being installed on a target host pulling dhcpcd packages from a repository.
