I never changed the start order and as you already said the orderng is
correct. Further I noticed (on Xubuntu 8.04) and Ubuntu Server 8.04 NTP
being started and stopped during the boot proccess. I always thought it
was a normal behavior. ;-) What I found in "/etc/network/if-
up.d/ntpdate" though (hell I have ntpd, ntpdate and rdate installed just
to satisfy obscure dependencies) surprised me! Is that the default
script? I never changed anything in /etc/network/ or /etc/dhcp3/ (using
static IP).

# This is a heuristic:  The idea is that if a static interface is brought
# up, that is a major event, and we can put in some extra effort to fix
# the system time.  Feel free to change this, especially if you regularly
# bring up new network interfaces.
