Title:
  systemd-time-wait-sync.service should be part of systemd-timesyncd
  package

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in systemd source package in Focal:
  New
Status in systemd source package in Hirsute:
  Won't Fix
Status in systemd source package in Impish:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  [impact]

  systemd-time-wait-sync service never completes when systemd-timesyncd
  package is not installed

  [test case]

  remove the systemd-timesyncd package and enable the systemd-time-wait-
  sync service, and reboot. Check status of the service to see it's
  stuck in 'activating' state, e.g.:

  ubuntu at lp1937238-f:~$ sudo systemctl status systemd-time-wait-sync.service
  ● systemd-time-wait-sync.service - Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized
       Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-time-wait-sync.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
       Active: activating (start) since Fri 2021-07-23 15:32:12 UTC; 19s ago

  [regression potential]

  TBD

  [scope]

  this is needed in f and later

  the systemd-timesyncd package was split out from the main systemd
  package starting in focal, so this problem exists in f and later

  the service doesn't exist in b, so this is not needed there

  [other info]

  originally noticed in bug 1937238, but create this new bug in case
  that bug was actually a separate problem
