I can only agree with Peter, unfortunately. Like many other programs
in Debian, Aiccu only requires time accurate to a few minutes; it
could recommend one of a large number of packages, including ntp,
chrony, ntpdate, rdate, and probably many others I'm not familiar with.
The latter two clearly don't qualify as ``time daemons''. Perhaps the
ntp maintainers, the chrony maintainers, and the rdate maintainers
could get together to define a new pseudo-package suitable for such cases?
