Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ntp

  This is in feisty (but it is an explanation for bug #82774 as well,
  the basic reason is the same for edgy, different configuration flaws).

  I just noticed the problem in a feisty up-to-date system. In ntpdate
  (1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1ubuntu2) packaging, /etc/default/ntpdate is set up
  in such a way that it defaults to the ntp servers defined in
  /etc/ntp.conf, an empty file; which makes debconf to *not* create a
  proper /etc/ntp.conf if one decided to install ntpd on a whim. And to
  add insult to injury, /etc/default/ntpdate does not have the needed
  config flag to have ntpdate log its success or failure to the syslog
  ("-s"), thus it defaults to standard output, which upstart diligently
  makes all efforts to send to /dev/null.
