In my case the configuration file wasn't loaded until I changed the
script file. Therefore time in my system wasn't correctly set according
to configuration. I forgot to mention that the OS is Ubuntu Server
edition. By necessary configuration you mean the /etc/default/ntpdate
file?

The real problem may be in script /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian:
this line
NTPSERVERS=$(sed -rne 's/^(servers?|peer) ([-_.:[:alnum:]]+).*$/\2/p'
$file ...
could not correctly parsed file below:
/etc/ntp.conf:
restrict -6 default ignore
restrict -4 default ignore
restrict -6 ::1 nomodify notrap
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntpdate
ntpdate script (located in /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate) doesn't load
configuration from file (located in /etc/default/ntpdate).
1) OS: Ubuntu 11.04 (natty)
2) Package version: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1ubuntu4 and previous versions
3) Load configuration
