I need a time daemon with server capabilities so we can easily monitor
clock skew.

Setting the dependency as recommends sounds like a great solution
indeed. Thanks for taking it into consideration.

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.
