This was discussed on IRC and we decided on ntp.example.com because in
principle this should only be used if a user wants to use a specific
_local_ NTP server instead of a generic NTP server.
The default will already use a generic NTP server (0.debian.pool.ntp.org),
so this value should not be preseeded if the default setting is good
enough. Giving a generic NTP server as example kind of defeats that.
We should certainly not give a non *.debian.pool.ntp.org server as example
as that goes against the NTP usage policy for distributions.
