The debian installer group already said that it's not them who decide
such things.  I think we need to convince ftp-master, or debian-devel.

However, I'm not sure that the ntp is a package that should be installed
by default, or atleast not run as a daemon by default.

Something that runs ntpdate (or ntpd -q -g) regularly, or some sntp
client, could make more sense for a default.
