I don't think it runs in daemon mode but I always use netdate - I have
mine in a script for ip.up so it synchs every time I connect and also
runs 'hwclock --systohc --utc'.

xntp3 is in 2.0 and frozen, and there is chrony in unstable.  chrony is,
IMHO, much easier to configure (I'm the maintainer).
