[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#515246: ntpdate: unclear when settimeofday() is used

The actual limit is 0.5 s:

$ grep -B5 NTPDATE_THRESHOLD ntpdate/ntpdate.h
/*
  * ntpdate will make a long adjustment using adjtime() if the times
  * are close, or step the time if the times are farther apart.  The
  * following defines what is "close".
  */
#define	NTPDATE_THRESHOLD	(FP_SECOND >> 1)	/* 1/2 second */
