The same with virtualbox-guest-x11 and virtualbox-guest-utils.
I have set the severity to serious, because with the deletion of an important
system tool the stability is significantly disturbed.

This is not a bug, but a design thing.
NTP can't work with virtualbox, because virtualbox is in charge of keeping the
time up-to-date, with the guest-utils tools
e.g. with VBoxService.
Having two different timeservers will make things behave badly, and the
upstream documentation forbids this.
see #873263 if you want more background on the issue
I think I won't remove that conflict for now, unless you have some good
explanation for me :)
