I think going forward with this ticket instead of the much older bug
61619 is preferable.

ntpdate has been deprecated upstream for a long time as previously
pointed out. The NTP code has seen numerous security vulnerabilities and
we have to assume that ntpdate is not receiving the same scrutiny
anymore when compared to ntpd.

Setting milestone for vivid, hoping that it is not too late, yet.
