Well, they don't actually conflict.  They are just usually not used together.  
In particular, considering that in sarge, they usually *are* used together, 
it would probably upset quite a few people if we turned this around during 
the upgrade.

If may make sense to drop the -u option from the default ntpdate options, so 
ntpdate doesn't run when ntpd is running.  Do you want to try that out?  
(see /etc/default/ntpdate)
