I agree that in a world of systemd-timesyncd by default packages could
stop depending on time-servers in most of the cases. But that is not a
bug in chrony but in freeipa.

Also it is not clear yet why your puppet would install one and then the
other, I'd ask you to file an extra bug with a bit more details about
that aspect.

Title:
  freeipa-client hard depends on chrony

Bug description:
  That freeipa-client needs accurate time to work is obvious. But there are various ways to go about this:
  1) install a  timeserver like chrony or ntp
  2) Not at all, because the system is an lxc client and thus the time is synced externally.

  Currently chrony is installed, and another package requires ntp.
  Furthermore puppet is running on the host and installs chrony on one
  run and in the next run ntp etc etc. And that on a host which requires
  neither.

  There are many ways to solve this problem with various levels of being
  accurate. Please think the problem through in such a way that all
  possible scenarios are covered.
