ntpd is provided by the packages ntp-refclock and ntp-simple. The
package ntp is a collection of utilities. and as the page

http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/ntp

notes: "...this package [ntp] no longer includes the actual daemon.
You will need either ntp-simple or ntp-refclock, depending on whether
you want the drivers for radio clocks included in the refclock version
of the daemon."

For sorting through questions of this sort the package search faciilities here:

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

...will prove invaluable.
