[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#788014: does not start at bootup

[Daniel Piddock]

I've also hit this problem of the race condition with ntpdate.

If ntpd dies for whatever reason (port in use, somebody stomping about
with kill to prove the point) systemd thinks that this is fine. System
configuration tools like Puppet won't try to start ntpd again as
"systemctl status ntp" returns ok.

The sysv shim just isn't good enough.

I ended up rolling my own local ntp package with a systemd unit file.

Patch against ntp_4.2.6.p5+dfsg-7+deb8u1
