TRIAGE: Confirmed, but not sure whether to fix in packages or "make the
problem go away" in the charm; more discussion needed.

Title:
  In bionic, one of the ceph packages installed causes chrony to auto-
  install even on lxd

Status in OpenStack ceph-mon charm:
  Triaged
Status in ceph package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When running ceph-mon in containers, best practice is to have
  chrony/ntp configured and installed on the bare metal and then have
  the container trust the system clock, as the container should not
  manage the system clock.

  It seems that in source=cloud:bionic-stein, ceph-base package ends up
  installing chrony automatically as a recommended package.

  chrony should not be installed in the LXD context of this charm.  If
  it's possible to remove chrony from the recommended package list or to
  have the charm remove chrony if ceph-base is installed in a lxd, that
  wouuld be preferable to having to adding the NTP charm to configure
  chrony in a lxd, or to have to disable the chrony service.
