It turns out that from all the A and AAAA records ntp.ubuntu.com
resolves the, 2001:67c:1560:8003::c8 seems to be constantly down.
This leads to time synchronisation problems for people using IPv6, as it
seems timesyncd keeps returning to the same server over and over again,
instead of trying the other ones DNS returns.
A practical solution to this would be to simply remove
2001:67c:1560:8003::c8 from the DNS entry for ntp.ubuntu.com.
