I am not sure this issue still matters. In Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10, ntpdate is not (as far as I can see) run by default at boot time anyway. Bug #74164 causes the dhcp client to not request ntp-servers by default, but once that is done, things "just work" regarding obtaining and using NTP server information from DHCP. At least, they work for me!
No change to /etc/default/ntpdate is needed, because ntpd does not use that file, only ntpdate-debian does. And ntpdate-debian is not run by default at boot time in Intrepid (from what I can see).
