Given no one else seems to have complained about this, coupled with it
sounding like getting the doc fix backported would be prohibitively
hard, the lucid task is probably doesn't have a high enough bang for the
buck to do it.

Title:
time-admin help manual should mention NTP time slewing

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ntp
After installing and configuring ntp (and reading the time-admin help
manual from the help button), I noticed the time didn't seem to
change. I ended up just restarting the service and it updated
appropriately.
I learned from other sources that this is because rather than change
the time all at once, it does it bit by bit ("time slewing").
It would save some confusion to mention this time slewing behavior in
the help documentation alongside the directions for configuring time
synchronization.
