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://

On which version of Ubuntu did you experience this? Whilst the latest LTS (18.04) and non-LTS (19.04) versions have moved the ntp package to universe, they still ship with a fully working configuration. Here's an example from a stock install on an AWS EC2 instance running disco (19.04):
root@ip- 172-31- 7-27:~# grep ubuntu /etc/ntp.conf pool.ntp. org iburst pool.ntp. org iburst pool.ntp. org iburst pool.ntp. org iburst 172-31- 7-27:~# awk '/ubuntu/ {print $2}' /etc/ntp.conf | xargs -n1 host pool.ntp. org has address 142.147.92.5 pool.ntp. org has address 12.71.198.242 pool.ntp. org has address 45.76.244.193 pool.ntp. org has address 104.168.88.15 pool.ntp. org has address 27.124.125.252 pool.ntp. org has address 129.250.35.250 pool.ntp. org has address 129.250.35.251 pool.ntp. org has address 13.55.50.68 pool.ntp. org has address 144.48.166.166 pool.ntp. org has address 203.7.149.149 pool.ntp. org has address 103.38.120.36 pool.ntp. org has address 103.76.40.123 pool.ntp. org has IPv6 address 2404:cc80:166::166 pool.ntp. org has IPv6 address 2407:f100:4:1::3 pool.ntp. org has IPv6 address 2a00:fd80: aaaa:ffff: :eeee:ff2 pool.ntp. org has IPv6 address 2001:19f0: 5801:1daa: 5400:1ff: fe95:cf80 pool.ntp. org has address 220.158.215.20 pool.ntp. org has address 27.124.125.251 pool.ntp. org has address 103.38.120.36 pool.ntp. org has address 103.214.220.220 1560:8003: :c8 1560:8003: :c7

So for the stock configuration on released Ubuntu versions, this is factually incorrect. Can you provide any further details to explain how this is a problem?
