Hello Darcy, I think it's because ntpdate is no daemon, but because the package contains an init.d script (for initial starting the program) webconf thinks it's a daemon. The way I understand it, is that webconf checks for an init.d script and also the output of "ps" to see if it's running. But because ntpdate is just a program that uses an init.d script, webconf interpret is as a daemon that is not running. So it's no problem of your setup but webconf interpreting this cornercase wrong.
