If just removing ntpdate from all the minimal-* files would do this,
then the attached patch will.

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.
