inherited ntpdate from there.

Thanks. We didn't have it removed for upgraders, so I guess that's not
happening by any other mechanism. I'm not sure we should do that either.
The only packaging mechanisms I can think of would also mean that users
of newer releases wouldn't be able to install ntpdate at all, and I
don't think we want that.

I'll rename this bug to track your specific case ("I upgraded from an
older release, ntpdate remained, and it causes trouble"). If anyone else
hits this, please mark yourself as affected by this bug (link for logged
in users near the top left of the page). If your scenario is essentially
the same but under a difference circumstance, please note it here.
