Public bug reported:

I discovered that, even if I checked "use network time" in the control
panel, the package ntp was not installed (just ntpdate).

This caused a drift in time in my desktop (which is always on); after a
couple of days if I deselect the the option and select it again I have:

SYS: Feb 11 08:47:58 pern kernel: [775917.016524] systemd-timedated[14157]: Set 
NTP to disabled
SYS: Feb 11 08:47:59 pern kernel: [775918.305488] systemd-timedated[14157]: Set 
NTP to enabled
SYS: Feb 11 08:48:59 pern ntpdate[14170]: step time server 91.189.94.4 offset 
53.842810 sec
SYS: Feb 11 08:49:01 pern dovecot: imap: Warning: Time jumped forwards 53 
seconds

I solved it manually by install ntp --- but shouldn't this be
automatically done if I choose "use network time"? It doesn't seem a
"one shot" option at all --- it stays put (it is not like a button to
"read network time now" or similar).

Thanks!
