[Bug 583994] [NEW] Consider replacing ntpdate calls by 'ntpd -g'

[C de-Avillez]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ntp

Given that 'ntpdate' is being obsoleted upstream [1], we should replace
'ntpdate' usage by:

 * ntpd -qg (if we really want to set the time and exit), or
 * ntpd-g (if we want to keep ntpd running)

the '-q' option will set the clock once, and exit; the 'g' allows for
large corrections to the clock, like what is done by 'ntpdate'.
