For the record, on our devel branch (based on Debian Jessie), htpdate
is managed by systemd:

https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/tree/config/chroot_local-includes/lib/systemd/system/htpdate.service?h=devel

The service will enter active (running) state if, and only if, htpdate
has succeeded.

Yes, most of the time (and depending on how other problems "something
that works" might introduce, such as maintainability issues). In this
case, however, we're not quite there yet, as important bits are
missing before we have "something that works now": specifically,
integration with how we start htpdate in Tails (via a NetworkManager
hook).

Indeed. We want the same thing, it seems:
