ntpdate takes 80s to time out when the DNS server does not respond.
It also processes all files in serial, which can incur massive
delays. In conjunction with the lockfile bug I reported earlier,
this can cause system start to take almost 10 minutes.
At the very least, ntpdate should process name resolution in
parallel. It should probably also fail faster.

Hello,
thank you for spending your time helping to make Debian better with
this bug report. Unfortunately your bug report could not be (completely)
dealt with in an appropriate time.
The version you have filed this bug report against is for a release that
is not supported anymore. Unfortunately we do not have the manpower to
reproduce bugs that old. It is possibly already fixed with the current
version.
Therefor I'm closing this bug. If you can still reproduce this issue on
a supported release (Debian 9 aka stretch, preferably also in sid) feel
free to reopen the bug report.
Thanks,
Bernhard
