If you really *purged* the package I think it is odd that on reinstalling
you do not see a configuration screen again if you did get one the very
first time you installed it. On the other hand, with the great majority of
packages configuring or reconfiguring is a matter of putting files in the
right places with some sensible default content, without any questions
(needing to be) asked.
If re-installing ntp-simple does not generate *error messages* probably all
is well, and you only have to configure it to your liking. How to do that
should be explained in the documentation that comes with it.
