Works, but it's not a 'nice' way to do it...

Better ways:
- Disable ntpdate startup (may be added back if ntpdate package is upgraded)
  sudo update-rc.d -f ntpdate remove

  To add it back, use following command:
  sudo update-rc.d ntpdate start 51 S .

- Just let it run but undefine the time servers for it, so it doesn't try to 
  get the time:
  sudo ECHO 'NTPSERVERS=""' >> /etc/default/ntpdate
