Seems more natural for the opposite to be the default. If chrony/ntp/openntpd is installed then the systemd version is disabled. It's strange that a simple "apt install chrony" doesn't result in a running chrony replacing systemd-timesyncd. The user has specifically decided to install chrony so it seems natural to assume he wants that instead of systemd and doesn't need to figure out why it's not running.
It does seem to happen on every boot and it seems timesyncd is the problem:
$ systemctl is-enabled systemd-timesyncd
enabled
This did the trick then:
service {"systemd- timesyncd" :
ensure => stopped,
enable => false,
hasstatus => true,
}
