[Bug 1125726] Re: boot-time race between /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate and "/etc/init.d/ntp start"

[Serge Hallyn]

Is there any danger of the rc2.d restarting ntp before if-up.d/ntpdate
script gets done starting ntpdate, causing ntpdate to fail?

Since we know that if-up.d/ntpdate will eventually start ntp, we could
define a transient 'ntp-will-start' upstart job.  Have if-up.d/ntpdate
start ntp-will-start, stop ntp, do it's thing, stop ntp-will-start, then
start ntp.  At that point, if there are two 'start ntp's it doesn't
matter, one will suceed.
