I am not sure this issue still matters.

In Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10, ntpdate is not
(as far as I can see) run by default at boot
time anyway.  Bug #74164 causes the dhcp client to
not request ntp-servers by default, but once that
is done, things "just work" regarding obtaining
and using NTP server information from DHCP.
At least, they work for me! 

No change to /etc/default/ntpdate is needed,
because ntpd does not use that file, only ntpdate-debian 
does.  And ntpdate-debian is not run by default
at boot time in Intrepid (from what I can see).
