Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

The current default is to not use the option "-u". ntpdate does not get
time if privileged ports are used:

  # /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
  10 Dec 00:22:18 ntpdate[3526]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting

With "-u" it works:

  # /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -u
  10 Dec 00:37:05 ntpdate[3620]: adjust time server 192.245.169.15 offset 
-0.010303 sec

I'd suggest to ship the /etc/default/ntpdate with NTPOPTIONS="-u".
