The ntpdate README.Debian says:
ntpdate is run whenever a network interface is brought up. To adjust
this behavior, the file /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate should be edited.
That file in turn says:
# ... Feel free to change this, especially if you regularly
# bring up new network interfaces.
If people don't read the documentation, we can't help them.
That said, the ntpdate default configuration is optimized for
a "desktop". On a "server" you would use ntpd anyway, so there is no
need for ntpdate. I think this is a reasonable compromise.
