FYI Separated from bug 1867036

It seems to be racy/flaky.
It uses a comparison on "seconds" granularity.
I was adding debug to check the values it fails on.

It was somewhat reproducible in the bileto ticket (again autopkgtest infrastructure).
Therefore I inserted some debug code and re-ran it there.

Our test environment is too fast (sometimes) and hence the flakyness:

  checking chronyc output OK
    DEBUG before 1585747433
    DEBUG before 1585747433
  checking system clock BAD

That is checked with "lt" and here the results are ==.
I'll need to discuss if there is a strict reason for these to be non-equal.
Otherwise the fix might be as easy as using "-le" instead
