[Bug 2111342] Re: Install time-daemon with NTS support by default

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Agreed and thanks for the clarifying discussion,
I had to unblock a currently moving systemd 257.6-1ubuntu1 in the NEW queue first (synced with Nick, accepted now), once all of it is in proposed I can resolve the priorities on this one.

  Install time-daemon with NTS support by default

Bug description:
  Ubuntu shall be secure by default, therefore utilize Network Time
  Security (NTS), as time is the trust anchor for many cryptography
  related processes (e.g. certificates).

  NTS was previously enabled in chrony (LP: #2084585) and comes pre-
  installed in certain Ubuntu cloud images. Still, in Ubuntu
  Desktop/Server and other generic Ubuntu images we rely on systemd-
  timesyncd (without support for NTS [1]). This leads to a situation
  where we have to maintain two time-daemons in "main", while still not
  using NTS on most systems.
