By default NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF in /etc/default/ntpdate is set to "yes". This has the following consequences: /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian parses /etc/default/ntpdate and checks for /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp /etc/ntp.conf /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf if NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF is set to yes. By default ntpd is not installed therefore there is no /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp /etc/ntp.conf or /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf. ntpdate-debian then defaults to the NTPSERVERS set in /etc/default/ntpdate, namely "ntp.ubuntu.com". Only if NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF is set to "no" there will be a check for /etc/default/ntpdate.dhcp and consequently the server supplied by dhcp be used. I propose to set NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF to "no" by default. If ntpd is installed, this will override the use of ntpdate and /etc/ntpd.conf.dhcp and /etc/default/ntpdate.dhcp will both be created by DHCP anyway, therefore both packages will use the DHCP supplied servers in any case.
