I should also point out that the ntpdate program is deprecated upstream,
is no longer maintained, and no bugs are being fixed for it. All the
functionality is picked up by the normal ntpd program, and I would
expect the Debian ntp package to also move that way. It's questionable
whether you want to put that sort of software into the installer with a
bit of perspective. If you want to be future-proof, we could build an
ntp-udeb. I'm not sure what kind of size constraints the installer is
operating under, though.
