[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#400390: Please have ntp installed by default in the standard task

[Olaf van der Spek]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Could you have ntp installed by default on a Debian install?
I think a synced time is important enough to have it installed by default.

Greetings,

Olaf
