Comment 1 for bug 959990

Hi Alexandre thanks for taking the time to file this bug report. Removing /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate is actually the way to do this. Any file in /etc will be tracked as a conffile in dpkg. Dpkg respects removed conffiles on upgrade, so it won't be restored, nor will it be missed since this is a .d style directory.

Since there's nothing to fix, I'm closing this as Invalid. If you have any further information that might contradict that, please feel free to re-open the bug by setting the status back to New, or by opening a new bug report.
