Already did....in fact, ntpdate has been running on my system for
months. There is a kernel problem, IIRC, with the RTC code on
Alpha. It's getting fixed upstream, but it prevents ntpdate/ntpd from
working properly.
Actually, I'm kinda anxious to see the archive reject the debs like
that. Unfortunately, I don't check my system time often enough, so this
would give me a good idea when I'm uploading a load of debs that are
broken like that.
