Public bug reported:

I recently installed the ntp package on a fairly vanilla installed-from-
DVD Xenial system, and noticed that after the package installation both
systemd-timesyncd and ntp were running:

# systemctl status ntp systemd-timesyncd.service --no-pager
 ntp.service - LSB: Start NTP daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ntp; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Tue 2016-06-28 19:21:16 HDT; 6min ago
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
   CGroup: /system.slice/ntp.service
           3364 /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -u 112:118

[...log lines...]

 Main PID: 821 (systemd-timesyn)
   Status: "Synchronized to time server 91.189.89.199:123 (ntp.ubuntu.com)."
   CGroup: /system.slice/systemd-timesyncd.service
           821 /lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd

[...log lines...]

I was able to do "systemctl stop systemd-timesyncd.service" manually
without any trouble, but presumably if I hadn't noticed the situation I
might have had problems with the two services both running
simultaneously until my next reboot.

(Once the systemd-timesyncd service is stopped, it is prevented from
starting again by the constraint in the disable-with-time-daemon.conf
file.)
