If we do that, then someone will complain that ntp now depends on perl,
which they don't like for some reason or other.

The alternative is to split out ntp-wait into a separate package, but
that will create more overhead than simply depending on perl when required.

I kind of doubt that calling ntp-wait in a postinst script is reasonable
anyway.  I understand that you want to have an accurate clock, but you
could make that argument about approximately 37% of packages.
