Can you verify this bug?

I first had to cherry-pick

  https://github.com/desrt/systemd-shim/commit/6c3d9756be9075a0053f7e11e97da3f39b69781e

otherwise the setting wasn't effective (check for 'NTP enabled: n/a' in
timedatectl, should be no or yes), but after that manual was persistent
and also time wasn't reset on reboot as you'd expect would happen if
ntpdate was unconditionally called.

This was all on vivid. I'm not sure why it would be different on RTM,
except that you shouldn't need the cherry-pick there since systemd is
older.
