I came across a box that was running Ubuntu 15.10 with ntpd. systemd was
automatically starting ntpd on boot on that system:
# systemctl status ntp
ntp.service - LSB: Start NTP daemon
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ntp)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2016-04-24 14:48:26 EDT; 1 weeks 1 days
ago

CGroup: /system.slice/ntp.service
└─849 /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -u 106:115

After updating to 16.04 (ntp:amd64 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu8.2 ->
1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu5, systemd:amd64 225-1ubuntu9.1 -> 229-4ubuntu4,
systemd-sysv:amd64 225-1ubuntu9.1 -> 229-4ubuntu4), systemd no longer starts
ntpd on boot:
# systemctl status ntp
ntp.service - LSB: Start NTP daemon
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ntp; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
