Setting to Medium priority as a workaround is available.

Debian is considering making NTP available by default in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=731594.

I'm also concerned that though changing NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF to default to "no" if /etc/ntp.conf doesn't exist seems to be right solution right now, it may have a negative impact to non-MAAS users, and so this needs to be considered carefully.

So it seems like we're still figuring out what the right solution should be. Some discussion in Ubuntu at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-December/037895.html

Given that there's a workaround, I think we should probably wait to see what Debian wants to do with ntp by default before we tackle this. If this takes too long, then I suppose we could patch the behaviour above, or even send that to Debian.
