I'm not sure what Debian's policy is for this. As far as I know, this is all still open for debate. Also, the current file is missing alot of the configuarion options that are curruntly supported, like having an ntp.conf provided by dhcp. We now pass the uid/gid of $RUNASUSER, not some (fixed) name and group. It's now passing -n and not passing the PID file. I guess at least the PID file part is normal for systemd. It has: After=network.target Which might be different then: # Required-Start: $network $remote_fs $syslog And: [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Whatever that means. Please also note that in Debian currently nothing should wait for ntp to be started, and if something does it's probably broken. I will need more information about systemd than what you pointed to.
