On which version of Ubuntu did you experience this? Whilst the latest
LTS (18.04) and non-LTS (19.04) versions have moved the ntp package to
universe, they still ship with a fully working configuration. Here's an
example from a stock install on an AWS EC2 instance running disco
(19.04):
root@ip-172-31-7-27:~# grep ubuntu /etc/ntp.conf
pool 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst
pool 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst
pool 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst
pool 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst
pool ntp.ubuntu.com
root@ip-172-31-7-27:~# awk '/ubuntu/ {print $2}' /etc/ntp.conf | xargs -n1 host

ntp.ubuntu.com has IPv6 address 2001:67c:1560:8003::c7
So for the stock configuration on released Ubuntu versions, this is
factually incorrect. Can you provide any further details to explain how
this is a problem?

Title:
ntpd installation /etc/ntp.conf ~ hostnames listed do not exist on
*.ntp.org
Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When you install 'ntp' the /etc/ntp.conf it writes refers to the
following:
- *.ubuntu.ntp.org
This hostname name and subdomain doesn't exist, it would be better if
you just import and write http://ntp.snails.email/v1/ntp.conf
alternatively make a file that randomly selects the pool and server
from http://ntp.snails.email/v1/online.json --> so you download the
.json, and then have somewhere on *.ubuntu.com that has a ntp.conf it
will and randomly compile alist of pool items from the .json --> this
will stop chronologistic buffering convulsive environments...
