Robie: Yes, changing NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=no makes everything work, at
least when I change it after the node is deployed. I am not aware of how
to try this with a preeseed late_command. Do you have instructions for
me to attempt this? Will this mean all newly-deployed MAAS nodes get
this change?

Below is the output from one of the nodes testing NTP_CONF on and off. It shows 
the script working correctly and using the NTP servers from DHCP when set to 
=no.
