Mmm, there's a problem with the package that handles rc scripts then:
ntpdate should properly register where it needs to.  I mean, people
usually use sysv-rc on debian GNU/Linux, so that registers are done in
/etc/rcS.d, but I usually rather use file-rc for instance, and then
registers are done in /etc/runlevel.conf. I guess we should just provide
a hurd-rc package that would make registers happen in /etc/rc.boot.

Or else we may impose the use of sysv-rc and then fix /libexec/rc to
using /etc/rcS.d
