It's in 'xntp3'. ntpdate is a part of the complete 'time server suite'.
Usually 'ntpdate' is only used to synchronize if you have big
time-differences. The ntpd can only synchronize if the difference
between the local client and the time-server is less than 1024 seconds.
So installation using Debian will ask you if you want to use ntpdate
once (only when the system is starting up...). The rest will be done by
the daemon. It works great...
