systemd-time-wait-sync.service stuck in "activating" state after boot,

Bug description:
[impact]
systemd-time-wait-sync service never completes when systemd-timesyncd
package is not installed
[test case]
remove the systemd-timesyncd package and enable the systemd-time-wait-
sync service, and reboot. Check status of the service to see it's
stuck in 'activating' state, e.g.:
ubuntu@lp1937238-f:~$ sudo systemctl status systemd-time-wait-sync.service
● systemd-time-wait-sync.service - Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-time-wait-sync.service;
enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: activating (start) since Fri 2021-07-23 15:32:12 UTC; 19s ago
[regression potential]
TBD
[scope]
this is needed in f and later
the systemd-timesyncd package was split out from the main systemd
package starting in focal, so this problem exists in f and later
the service doesn't exist in b, so this is not needed there
[original description]
When I start my server running Ubuntu 20.04 the systemd-time-wait-
sync.service is stuck in "activating" state. I noticed this because
none of the systemd timer units triggered, because all the timers
depend on systemd-time-wait-sync.service. Running "systemctl restart
systemd-time-wait-sync.service" manually works around the problem.
Some logs and command outputs:
