I realize that the title makes it sound as though this is intended behavior. To be clear, in this scenario, neither systemd- timesyncd.service nor ntp.service start. It's not just systemd- timesyncd.service that doesn't start, as that would be intended behavior.

This prevents systemd-timesyncd.service from starting if the ntp package has been installed. However, ntp.service has a Conflicts directive for systemd-timesyncd.service. If both services are enabled, neither will start on boot. This breaks upgrades from < 19.10 to 19.10 for systems that have both ntp and systemd installed.
