Package: ntp-server
Severity: wishlist

ntp upstream considers ntpdate to be more or less unmaintained and
sucky; we shouldn't be shipping ntpd in a configuration that expects
it. Please add the 'iburst' option to the default server lines in
ntp.conf, and the -g argument to the command line.

(iburst is always a good thing to have; it lets ntpd sync up faster on
startup. I can't think of a good reason for not having -g. You can
still run ntpdate if you want to - it's just unnecessary).
