Bug Description

When you install 'ntp' the /etc/ntp.conf it writes refers to the following:

 - *.ubuntu.ntp.org

This hostname name and subdomain doesn't exist, it would be better if you just import and write http://ntp.snails.email/v1/ntp.conf alternatively make a file that randomly selects the pool and server from http://ntp.snails.email/v1/online.json --> so you download the .json, and then have somewhere on *.ubuntu.com that has a ntp.conf it will and randomly compile alist of pool items from the .json --> this will stop chronologistic buffering convulsive environments...
