This fix is causing problems on Ubuntu 12.04 for me; for both KVM hosts and KVM guests. I see a message like

lockfile creation failed: exceeded maximum number of lock attempts

On my hosts, it delays boot finishing for several minutes; while some of my guests just never become network accessible.

For anyone else bitten by same issue, I am currently using this workaround:
chmod -x /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
