copying comment 0 from bug 583994 here for reference and completeness

Given that 'ntpdate' is being obsoleted upstream [1], we should replace
'ntpdate' usage by:

 * ntpd -qg (if we really want to set the time and exit), or
 * ntpd-g (if we want to keep ntpd running)

the '-q' option will set the clock once, and exit; the 'g' allows for
large corrections to the clock, like what is done by 'ntpdate'.

   Consider replacing ntpdate calls by 'ntpd -g'

Bug description:
   Hi!

  I think we might want to choose ntp-simple in some situations instead
  of ntpdate. Could we have that as an alternative Dependency?

  Cheers, /C
