I never changed the start order and as you already said the orderng is correct. Further I noticed (on Xubuntu 8.04) and Ubuntu Server 8.04 NTP being started and stopped during the boot proccess. I always thought it was a normal behavior. ;-) What I found in "/etc/network/if- up.d/ntpdate" though (hell I have ntpd, ntpdate and rdate installed just to satisfy obscure dependencies) surprised me! Is that the default script? I never changed anything in /etc/network/ or /etc/dhcp3/ (using static IP).
