[Bug 427775] Re: ntpdate.dhcp always ignored

[Jorge Niedbalski]

For MAAS users. A quick workaround that you can use for this, is to
setting NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF to NO via the generic preseed file.

Edit /etc/maas/preseeds/generic, add a late_command into the file

d-i     preseed/late_command string true && \
in-target sed -i 's/NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=yes/NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=no/'
/etc/default/ntpdate

This change will force the usage of /var/lib/ntpdate/default.dhcp ,
which is being written correctly by MAAS.

The proper solution for this fix would be to fix the ntpdate package to
fall back to /etc/default/ntpdate.dhcp if it doesn't find any ntp.conf
configuration by default.
