Public bug reported:

I've installed ntp service on the clean ubuntu 16.04 server system. Configured 
it. Checked that it works, but, after reboot, it doesn't start automatically.
When I check: 'systemctl is-enabled ntp', it shows enabled.
If I manually start it 'systemctl start ntp' it starts just fine and woks 
correctly,
but until I manually start it, 'systemctl status ntp' shows:

    Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ntp; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
    Active: inactive (deadi)

found bugreport on ntpd package:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1577596

led to solution that involves a change to be made in file:

    /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate

of ntpdate package

After changing from:
______________CODE_START______________

    invoke-rc.d --quiet $service stop >/dev/null 2>&1 || true

     # Avoid running more than one at a time
     flock -n /run/lock/ntpdate /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -s $OPTS 2>/dev/null 
|| :

    invoke-rc.d --quiet $service start >/dev/null 2>&1 || true

______________CODE_END______________

to:
______________CODE_START______________

    systemctl --quiet stop $service.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || true

     # Avoid running more than one at a time
     flock -n /run/lock/ntpdate /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -s $OPTS 2>/dev/null 
|| :

    systemctl --quiet start $service.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || true

______________CODE_END______________

ntpd service started launching on boot.
