Hi,
Alex brought that up on my radar by his post.
Also these days basic syncing of your system is done via systemd provided
facilities.
That said still the original request has a valid whish of "how to
disable/avoid" running ntpdate on every ifup.
And thereby the "remaining" request is is a dup of bug 1206164.

Title:
No obvious way to prevent ntpdate to be run when interface are brought
up
Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: ntpdate
Package ntpdate drop a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate so that
it run each time an interface if brought up. While this is useful for
the common case, there does not appear to be an easy way to disable
this behavior, short of removing the /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate
script entirely. Since the ntpdate package is part of ubuntu-minimal,
removing it is not really an option.
There are scenario where automatically syncronising time is not
desirable, such as when using a Kerberos KDC whose time is more than
five minutes apart from that offered on ntp.ubuntu.com. In this case,
you would want to adjust time on your Ubuntu machine to match that of
the KDC, not ntp.ubuntu.com. See bug #192597 for another example.
One possible solution for that would be to have a variable declared in
/etc/default/ntpdate for whether ntpdate is to be run, defaulting to
true to preserve the current behavior.
