So the logic in /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate needs to be a bit like

after initialization.
But that information is not available in the if-up script.
There are ways to find it out. If you like, I'll do up and test a
sample.
Maybe the logic is that, now that ntpd can handle it's own clock
startup, there's no need to have the two packages installed at the
same time?
Yes.
If so, would it be desirable to have them officially conflict?
No.
Forgive me my ignorance. I'm not an expert on the details of the apt
dependency process. Can you educate me as to why it's not a good idea?
Thanks,
Rick
