Version: 0.6.8-2
Severity: normal
User: [email protected]

Dear Maintainer,
I've seen that netsniff-ng recommends the package ntp. Is it because it
needs to be sure that the system time is accurate? In that case, would
it be better to recommend the virtual package time-daemon instead?
$ grep-aptavail -F Provides "time-daemon" | grep ^Package:
Package: chrony
Package: linuxptp
Package: ntp
Package: ntpsec
Package: openntpd
Package: systemd-timesyncd
$ cd /usr/share/doc/debian-policy
$ zgrep 'name: time-daemon' virtual-package-names-list.yaml.gz -A1
- name: time-daemon
description: anything that serves as a time daemon
Please note that I don't know what netsniff-ng is or what it does. I was
just working of building OS images for Kali (a Debian derivative), and I
was wondering why some images came with ntp installed, and other images
came with systemd-timesyncd instead. I found out that it's netsniff-ng
that forces the installation of ntp and prevents systemd-timesyncd to be
installed.
I think it would be better if the package just recommended time-daemon
without requiring a particular implementation (ntp in this case). But
once again, I'm not familiar with netsniff-ng and I don't want to break
anything!
Thanks,
Arnaud
