[Bug 1451247] Re: wrong ntpdate dependency in ubuntu-minimal

@god, it's already included as part of the systemd package.  I guess
there could be an issue if touch doesn't switch from upstart in 15.10,
but other than that it should just work.   It might also not be turned
on everywhere yet, but that's also easier to see/test when ntpdate is
not seeded.

Title:
  wrong ntpdate dependency in ubuntu-minimal

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu-minimal has a hardcoded dependency on ntpdate which is entirely
  unnecessary because for basic minimal task of syncing time with ntp
  server systemd-timesyncd is more than enough. Replacing this
  dependency will allow to save some space on install media and make
  learning easier for new users because timesyncd follows exact same
  configuration convention as the rest of the stack which makes it
  natural to get aquainted with.
