No.  Have you even ever actually used it?  If you have, I'm surprised
you have to ask.

Err, a) I can guarantee you that the uptime and availability of
ntp.ubuntu.com surpasses that of a random machine picked out of
pool.ntp.org, b) we only install ntpdate by default, not ntp-server -
distance to the server really isn't that big a deal for an ntpdate
that's mostly used once on boot.
