Title:
  Consider replacing ntpdate calls by 'ntpd -g'

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ntp

  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'.
