#1595: debathena-kerberos-config shouldn’t require ntp when systemd-timesyncd is
installed

---------------------------+-----------------------------------
debathena-kerberos-config Depends on time-daemon as a proxy for “This host
has correctly configured time so the Kerberos handshake works”. systemd
currently comes with systemd-timesyncd, which satisfies that requirement,
but systemd doesn’t Provide time-daemon. As a result, installing
debathena-kerberos-config on a fresh Debian installation will
unnecessarily pull in ntp instead of just relying on systemd-timesyncd.
The correct solution here is to have systemd Provide time-daemon, but that
[https://bugs.debian.org/850169 causes other problems]. I suspect the
Debian folks would prefer for us just to introduce systemd as an
alternative to ntp/ntpdate.
