Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Could you have ntp installed by default on a Debian install?
I think a synced time is important enough to have it installed by default.
Greetings,
Olaf

With multiple different NTP implementations in the archive now (ntp,
ntpsec, chrony) and one of them being shipped with our default init
system (systemd-timesyncd) that is probably good enough for the majority
of the use cases I think this is not going to be pursued further.
