Package: base-installer Severity: important It is very important that Debian systems have an accurate system clock. However not all supported systems include a battery-backed RTC (or any working RTC).
Whenever there is not an RTC (and perhaps if there is an RTC but we somehow recognise that it's not battery-backed), we should install and enable a NTP daemon by default. (Possibly we should do this by default on everything.) The NTP daemon should be a lightweight implementation intended for clients, such as systemd-timesyncd, not the ntp package. (In fact systemd-timesyncd is installed already, it just isn't enabled.)
