Bug Description
In the time-admin tool there is a feature for setting up synchronization of time
with NTP servers but when I try to enable it, it complains that my system
doesn't have support for NTP. I'm guessing the problem is that ntpd is not
installed.
It would be nice if ntpd was available in the Ubuntu archives, and possible even
installed by default.

We made an explicit decision not to install ntpd by default, in order to have no
network services listening in the desktop install. Ideally, it would be
installed but inactive, and the time configuration tool would enable it. This
is Hoary material, though.
