I had an issue running ntp on at least one linux guest.  The drift was so
bad that ntp would give up and quit.

I run ntpdate every 5-10 minutes depending on how critical the guest is.

Run ntp-server on one of the Debian guests, and configure the clients to use
that server as a NTP source either by running ntp-server on them, or
periodically using ntpdate to update the PC clocks. It will cause some
overhead for the NTP server because it will wake up more frequently than it
normally would, but you get very precise clock sync.
